Finally, the police have made arrests in connection with the murder of Chinx. Three men have been taken into custody on May 17th after NYPD’s SWAT team raided a home on 2436 Beach Channel Drive in Far Rockaway, Queens. They may be linked to two different crimes in the area. OnRockaway reports the suspects were chased to the location by police officers who initially handcuffed them for stealing a car in Bayswater, Queen and it is possible that the two cases are connected.

Numerous hip-hop artist, including Jay Z, French Montana, Meek Mill, Red Cafe and Fabolous, are overwhelmed with grief. It is still to be determined if this guy had something to do with the murder of Chinx or he is just an imposter.
