“He was a rapper. He didn’t bother nobody. He didn’t target nobody. He was a family man, and he was going around rapping, okay. Why would you target him?” the aunt asked.

Authorities said two perps in a white four-door Kia were being sought over the bloodshed.

They are accused of pulling up, opening fire on the father-daughter duo and then fleeing the scene.

Becky Johnson, who lives across the street from the car wash, said she heard multiple rounds of gunfire.

“Six the first time, and then it was half a second, and I heard six more. Then a second later, I heard three,” she recalled. “I could see people fleeing for their cars.”

Cops believe they know at least one of the shooters, but have not released their identity.
