"Trial Commences for Suspects in Jam Master Jay's 2002 Killing"
TL;DR Summary
The trial is set to begin for two men accused of killing Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay over 20 years ago, with prosecutors alleging that the DJ was shot over a drug deal. The men, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, have pleaded not guilty to the charges. Witnesses have identified them as the assailants, and they face at least 20 years in prison if convicted. The case went unsolved for many years until the two men from Jay's Queens neighborhood were arrested in 2020, and a third man was charged in the shooting last year and will be tried separately.
