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.

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