2 Men Found Guilty of Murdering Run-DMC's DJ Jam Master Jay in 2002
Two men were convicted of murder more than 20 years after the 2002 killing of Run-DMC’s DJ Jam Master Jay
Jay, born Jason Mizell, was the DJ for Run-DMC, the trailblazing hip-hop group which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2009. “The witnesses in the recording studio knew the killers, and they were terrified that they’d be retaliated against if they cooperated with law enforcement and identified the ruthless executioners of Mr. Mizell. The verdict comes one month before the 40th anniversary of Run-D.M.C.’s 1984 self-titled debut album, which included a track titled “Jam Master Jay.” The song praised Jay, as the group rapped that he is “on his way / to be the best DJ in the US of A.”
