PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — The nephew of hip-hop artist and reality TV star Benzino has been convicted in connection with Benzino’s shooting during a funeral procession in Massachusetts.

Gai Scott was found guilty Thursday of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, but was cleared of armed assault with intent to murder. His sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 26.

Benzino, whose real name is Raymond Scott, suffered non-life-threatening wounds to his shoulder and back in the March 2014 shooting.

Authorities say both men were in moving vehicles on the way to a Plymouth church for the funeral of Raymond Scott’s mother. Prosecutors say the shooting stemmed from a family dispute.

Benzino at the time appeared on VH1’s reality show “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” and was CEO of Hip Hop Weekly.
