Chinx

An up-and-coming Queens rapper was killed in a drive-by shooting in his home borough Sunday.

Lionel Pickens, 31, who performed as Chinx, was shot multiple times, and passenger Antar Alziadi, 27, hit twice in the back in the rapper’s Porsche, at about 4a.m. on Queens Blvd. at 84th Drive in Briarwood, cops said.

Pickens had performed at around 2:30 a.m. at Club Red Wolf in Brooklyn, and the pair had tried to go to a nearby hookah bar, which was closed, cops said.

The shooter sped off while the rapper’s silver Porsche Panamera 4 rolled for about a block and came to a stop in front of a Dunkin’ Donuts. At least seven bullet holes pierced the front and rear driver-side windows.

An employee at the Dunkin’ Donuts said Pickens looked lifeless in the driver’s seat when cops arrived at the scene.

“The police came and they opened up the door,” said Bibekanada Das, who was working in the kitchen when the shooting occurred. “All you could see was the guy laid out in the seat.”

Emergency responders rushed both victims to Jamaica Hospital, where Pickens was pronounced dead and Alziadi, who goes by the nickname Yemen Cheese, was in critical but stable condition.

Alziadi later posted a messaged on Instagram proclaiming the rapper had “saved” him.

Chinx was a member of French Montana’s Coke Boys group and record label. He also issued multiple independently produced mixtapes.
