According to reports, gunfire, which wounded an unnamed victim, killed Chinx around 4 AM EST.

The victim, shot multiple times in the torso, has been identified as 31-year old Lionel Pickens of Ozone Park. Police say the victims were driving a Porsche westbound on Queens Blvd when a second vehicle pulled up to them at 84th Road, where a gunman from the second vehicle fired multiple rounds inside the first car, striking the driver and the other person.

Chinx made his name in the New York rap scene over the past few years.

Coming up via French Montana’s Coke Boys posse, Queens rapper Chinx Drugz launched his solo career in earnest in 2013 with the album I’ll Take It from Here. Rapping in his teen years with fellow high-school student and good friend Stack Bundles, Chinx would keep in contact with his friend as Stack joined Jim Jones’ Byrd Gang and became a frequent collaborator with Max B. Max became fast friends with Chinx as well and introduced him to French Montana, who asked Chinx to join the Coke Boys in 2009. (Rhyme Junkie)

      • Do you know of him not, with the image and energy he projected? Coke Boys? Yeah real positive.

      • about a yr or two ago he went to his old hood and wasn’t welcomed. Half the neighborhood shouted at him to leave and never come back. They heckled him as he walked back to his car and left. It’s on youtube. his brother was gunned down and had more respect in Far Rockaway then Chinx did.

  1. If your team is called “Coke Boys”, unless its a fake moniker, you must have had some real beefs at some point.

    • Nah most of these cats think that this street shit fun and games (not talking about Chinx cuz I didn’t know him) so they don’t think that this shit catch on people
