Chinx’s cousin, Norman Seabrook, who is also president of the New York City corrections officers’ union, told attendees that it was unclear why the rapper would have been targeted.

When I spoke to the precinct [about the shooting], there was no drugs in that car. There were no guns in that car. He was doing the right things — a time in his life where he was doing the right thing. This violence against each other has to stop. We’ve got to do better than this.
