[Lou Cypher]

Federal authorities indicted the men, who have long been suspected in the 2002 killing of the D.J., a member of the group Run-DMC.

The question of who killed Jam Master Jay, the D.J. for the pioneering rap group Run-DMC, inside a Queens recording studio has remained a mystery for nearly 18 years.

But federal prosecutors on Monday will announce the indictment of two men who have long been suspected of participating in the killing of the D.J., whose real name was Jason Mizell.

The men, Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan, Jr., were indicted on charges of murder while engaged in drug trafficking, according to two law enforcement officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Mr. Washington, 56, is currently serving a federal prison sentence for robbery. Mr. Jordan, 36, was taken into custody on Sunday.

A studio full of people, front desk person had to buzz them in. All those people in that studio need their ass kicked for keeping quiet. Good that the feds never gave up on this like the Pac and BIG murders

Why was a 18 year old and a 38 year old working together in a murder?

Not surprising , probably was a “big homie”

 

[5 Grand]

I remember when they questioned 50 Cent.

It was right around the time GRODT dropped.

I always wondered if questioning 50 was a publicity stunt.
