QUEENS — Fans can pay their last respects next week to late Queens rapper Chinx, who was killed in a drive-by shooting last Sunday.

A wake for Lionel "Chinx" Pickens, 31, will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 26, at the Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York in Jamaica, followed by a funeral scheduled for noon.

J. Foster Phillips Funeral Home, which is arranging the funeral, declined to disclose where Chinx will be buried, citing the family's privacy. 

Pickens was shot and killed when he stopped his silver Porsche at a red light on Queens Boulevard and 84th Drive in Briarwood at about 4 a.m. after performing in Brooklyn earlier that night, police said.

He was shot multiple times in a barrage of bullets, after another car pulled up alongside, according to police. 

No arrests had been made as of Friday morning, and a motive for the crime remains unclear, authorities said.

The Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York is located at 110-31 Merrick Blvd. in Jamaica.
