The man accused of fatally shooting rapper Takeoff last month outside a Houston, Texas bowling alley sought information about using fake plane tickets to obtain a passport in his efforts to flee the country, prosecutors said.

He also repeatedly made online searches about whether he was a suspect in the case, prosecutors alleged during a court hearing on Wednesday.
