The man who shot and killed ex-NFL player Joe McKnight is out of jail -- he's been moved to federal prison outside New Orleans, TMZ Sports has learned.

56-year-old Ronald Gasser was transferred from Jefferson Parish Jail to the Plaquemines Parish Detention Center --which we're told is considered a federal prison.

Gasser was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 30 years for shooting and killing McKnight during a 2016 road rage incident.

The prison opened in 2015 and reportedly cost around $118 million -- and boasts state of the art technology including biometric locks that allow staffers to use their fingerprints to open certain doors.
