Pickens, 31, had multiple gun shot wounds to his torso and
was pronounced dead at an area hospital. A 27-year-old male, who
was also in the car and has not been identified, suffered gun
shot wounds to his back and is in critical condition, police
said.
"There are no arrests at this time. The investigation is
ongoing," police said in a statement.
Pickens was a member of rapper French Montana's Coke Boys group,
and under the name "Chinx Drugs" was featured on songs that
included "I'm a Coke Boy".
Police told local media that Pickens had performed at a club and
was driving in a Porsche when another car approached and opened
fire.
