The uncle of one of the members of the legendary hip-hop duo Outkast was gunned down during a deadly road rage shooting on an Atlanta street last month.

Remoin Patton, 62, was found dead by police on the 200 block of Joseph E. Lowery Blvd NW. just after 5:30 p.m. on June 16, the Atlanta Police Department said.

Patton’s nephew is Antwan “Big Boi” Patton, who founded the iconic group with André Lauren Benjamin – better known by his stage name André 3000 – in 1992.

Remoin Patton was driving on the road that divides the Washington Hills and Vine City neighborhoods of Atlanta when he got into a verbal confrontation with a driver of another vehicle, police reported.

“During the altercation, Patton was shot, causing him to crash his vehicle into a vacant residence,” officials announced after the shooting.

Police responded to a 911 call and found Patton suffering from a gunshot wound to the back.

He was pronounced dead at the scene.

A person watching the home Patton crashed into says the 62-year-old was attempting to turn onto a nearby street but was hit in the back, causing the car to drive up onto the front porch of the home and into the front wall, according to WSBTV.

“I’m like, ‘What the heck happened to my place that I’m staying now?’” Chris Walker told the outlet. “I never thought it would be this property.”

A tarp was placed to block off the hole left behind by the crash, according to footage from the station.

Big Boi paid tribute to his uncle in Facebook posts.

“Long Live Uncle Moonie … Miss ya Unc,” the rapper wrote alongside a three-minute video filled with family pictures.

“Everybody who knows Uncle Moonie heart aches,” the “Hey Ya!” singer told WSBTV. “He wasn’t just ‘My’ Uncle, he was Unc to all that met him. A moment of rage has in totally pierced the heart of my family forever. May Uncle Moonie’s soul rest in peace.”
