Jam Master Jay Trial: Recording Studio Turned to Chaos After Shooting

A witness in the Jam Master Jay trial described a chaotic scene immediately after the DJ was shot in 2002.

“I saw my sister [Lydia High] lying on the left side of the door, crying and screaming,” he said, referring to a witness who gave testimony on Monday. Prosecutors allege that Jordan pulled the trigger, killing Mizell and injuring another man, while Washington stood guard at the studio door. On Tuesday, prosecutors called two more witnesses they allege had minor roles in the drug ring that included Washington: Lewis Gonzalez, who used to chauffeur Bryant to cocaine drop-offs and pickups, and Christopher Burrell, a friend of Mizell’s who toured with Run-DMC.
