"Two Men Convicted in 2002 Killing of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay"
TL;DR
Two men, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, have been found guilty of the 2002 killing of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay, Jason Mizell. The jury's verdict comes more than 21 years after the murder, and the convicted men face a minimum of 20 years in prison. The killing was driven by greed and revenge, as Mizell had cut the men out of a cocaine deal. Witnesses testified against the defendants during the four-week trial, and the guilty verdicts serve as a reminder that time does not provide a safe harbor for those who commit murder.
