Police Investigating Possible Connection Between Chinx & Stack Bundles' Murders

There may be a connection between Stack Bundles' 2007 murder and Chinx's shooting death Sunday, May 17.

Bundles, real name, Rayquon Elliott, was the leader of the Riot Squad, which included Chinx, Bynoe and Cau2G$.

"I really think they could be related," Elliott's older brother Ronald Ulmer, 48, told the New York Daily News. "They were tight. They were a crew. And I just think if a person commits a crime as harsh as killing, and they think they got away with it, they will surface and do it again."

Bundles' sister Geannie Ulmer spoke at Jamaica Medical Center Sunday after Chinx, real name Lionel Pickens, was rushed there and pronounced dead.

"(He) is laying in the same place my brother did. For what? For rapping? For what he believed in?" she said. "You got to look at that. Somebody's out there aiming for us."

The similarities between both tragedies have piqued the interest of police.

Both rappers owned brand new Porches. Chinx also grew up in the Redfern Houses.

"They were friends, Stack Bundles and Chinx. They were friends, so we're looking at all hip-hop angles," NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said Tuesday. "We've been getting a lot of information from the hip-hop community, from social media sites, any contacts this individual (Pickens) may have had. I do not have an eyeball witness right now to that scene."

Police believe the investigation may take some time.
