Two Defendants Found Guilty in Jam Master Jay Murder


A fight nearly broke out in the courtroom following the conviction.

Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan Jr. were convicted of the murder of Jam Master Jay, the hip-hop pioneer and member of Run-D.M.C., on February 27. The prosecution alleged that Washington and Jordan conspired to kill Jay due to disagreements in a narcotics trade. “In the decades since Mr. Mizell was brutally murdered, the greatest detectives in the world followed every lead until arrests could be made, and a solid case could be brought to our partners in the office of the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.”
