One of two men charged with the killing of Chinx in 2015 has reportedly pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in the case. According to a report from Fox 5's Lisa Evers, Quincy Homere filed the plea in Queens Criminal Court. He's already serving an 18-year sentence in federal prison for a 2015 bank robbery. He now faces another 23 years in state prison with a sentencing set for August 12.
Chinx's wife, Nelli, addressed the update in a statement on Instagram while sharing a photo of the late rapper. "We fought hard for a harder charge which should be murder 2 cause in the state of NY, murder 1 is only given in the cases of government officials being murdered," she wrote. "He wouldn’t take the murder 2 which would of ended in a lengthy trial that we were obviously ready for!!"
