‘I Was Scared’: Jam Master Jay Witness Details DJ’s Final Seconds at Trial

In the murder trial for two men indicted in the murder of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay, a witness said he was too scared to name the defendants for years.

Rincon did not inform the authorities until 2017 whom he believed he saw shoot Mizell, and this period became the focus of questioning when Mark DeMarco, representing Jordan, began cross-examination. On Monday, the defense argued that their clients weren’t the killers, that witnesses may be taking part in cooperation deals with the feds, and that eyewitnesses waited a long time to come forward. Earlier in the week, Judge LeShann DeArcy Hall ruled that Jordan’s rap lyrics could not be admitted as evidence in the case.
