Lionel Pickens, 31, known professionally as Chinx, was killed in a drive-by shooting on May 17, 2015, in the Briarwood neighborhood of Queens. Shortly after a Brooklyn club performance, he was driving a Porsche and stopped at a red light at Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive at about 4 a.m. Another vehicle pulled up alongside and an assailant fired multiple shots into the Porsche, striking Pickens several times in the torso. He was taken to Jamaica Medical Center and pronounced dead. His passenger, Antar Alziadi, 27, was shot twice and survived.

Investigators said the attack followed Pickens from the nightclub and grew out of a dispute between Pickens and one of the suspects dating to time they spent together in Rikers Island. In December 2017 the NYPD arrested and charged two men, Quincy Homere, 32, and Jamar Hill, 26, with second-degree murder, attempted murder, assault, and weapons charges; both were already incarcerated on unrelated charges when indicted.

Did anyone in the Briarwood or Brooklyn nightlife scene recognize Pickens’s Porsche or see his car the night of May 17, 2015?
