Jam Master Jay: Two Men Found Guilty in Murder of Run-D.M.C. DJ
A jury has found Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington guilty of murdering Run-D.M.C. DJ Jam Master Jay in 2002.
A jury found two men, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, guilty of murdering the pioneering and world-famous DJ Jam Master Jay in 2002 at the conclusion of a federal trial on Tuesday. In 2023, the government added another man, Jay Bryant, to the indictment, claiming that he helped Jordan and Washington gain access to Mizell, who was playing video games at a recording studio at the time of his death. The trio had taken a break after 1993’s Down With the King, since gangsta rap was on the rise, but had recommitted themselves in 2001 with a new album, Crown Royal, and songs produced by Kid Rock, Jermaine Dupri, Stephan Jenkins, and, of course, Jam Master Jay, among others.
