Jam Master Jay Murder Trial Kicks Off In Brooklyn, Two Decades After Run-DMC Star’s Shocking Killing
Years after the rapper was shot and killed in his Queens studio, Karl Jordan and Ronald Washington will stand trial for “cold-blooded murder.”
Two men accused of murdering Run-DMC ‘s Jam Master Jay will finally head to trial Monday (Jan. 29), more than 21 years after the rap icon’s killing. Though witnesses were in the room when the murder happened, and police generated a number of leads, no charges were filed until August 2020, when prosecutors finally unveiled the case against Washington and Jordan. “The charges announced today begin to provide a measure of justice to the family and friends of the victim, and make clear that the rule of law will be upheld, whether that takes days, months, or decades.”
