New York-based rapper Chinx (Lionel Pickens) was shot to death early Sunday morning in Queens New York. The 31-year-old was reportedly shot multiple times in the torso, while his passenger was shot twice in the back.

"The shooter sped off while the victim's silver Porsche Panamera 4 came to a stop about a block down the street in front of a Dunkin' Donuts. At least seven bullet holes pierced the front and rear driver-side windows," writes NY Daily News.

The car and body were discovered by a Dunkin Donuts employee when it rolled to a stop. The employee claimed that the body looked lifeless when he went to investigate.

He was then rushed to Jamaica Hospital where he was officially pronounced dead.

His management released this statement: "It is with a heavy heart that The Legion Media Group and 4 Kings Management announce the passing of Lionel 'Chinx' Pickens this morning. He was 31.

Few details are available about his passing but his management confirmed his passing this morning. The rapper from Queens, New York was a member of French Montana's Coke Boys.

Chinx's dedication, humor, and vision will always be remembered: 'Chinx was one of the most talented, dedicated, and determined rappers this industry had to offer,' says publicist Chanel Rae, 'Furthermore, he was a friend. RIP, Chinx."

The assailants have not yet been identified, however a suspicious Instagram account titled "Teamshabbaofficial" has been spotted bragging about the killing and carries photos of the bullet ridden Porsche. The account is also believed to be unrelated as it is based in Sweden.
