Patrick Houston Jr., the son of renowned rapper Project Pat and nephew of Three 6 Mafia co-founder Juicy J, has tragically passed away following a sh0oting in a Tennessee park. The circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear, TMZ reports.
The 21-year-old was fatally sh0t last week in Imogene Heights, a historically Black neighborhood in Memphis. According to Memphis Police, the sh0oting occurred shortly after 1 PM on Friday. Officers arrived at the scene to find Houston Jr. deceased. No further details about the incident have been released.
Project Pat rose to fame in the 1990s as a member of the group The Kaze, which debuted in 1998. The group, also known as Killa Klan Kaze, maintained close ties with Three 6 Mafia due to Pat’s familial connection with Juicy J.
Pat’s solo career includes the gold-certified album Mista Don’t Play: Everythangs Workin’, released in 2001, just months before Patrick Houston Jr. was born.
A funeral service for Houston Jr. is set to take place on Saturday, January 25. Authorities have not yet provided additional information about the sh0oting.
