UPDATE: The account’s private, but above shows some screenshots of an Instagram user seemingly taking the credit for Chinx’s death. WTF.
We also added a more detailed story, which includes another shooting victim that’s in critical condition (source):
As reported by Pix11, 31-year-old Lionel “Chinx” Pickens was pronounced dead after being found shot in the torso in a car at Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive. Another unidentified 27-year-old shooting victim was found with Chinx, who is reportedly in critical condition at Jamaica Medical Center. While no one has been arrested yet in the murder of Chinx and the shooting of the other victim, no doubt these Instagram allegations are being followed closely by police.
Our condolences go out to Chinx’s family and friends. Very unfortunate.
