"Witness Recounts Jam Master Jay's Final Moments at Trial"
TL;DR Summary
Witness Uriel Rincon detailed the final moments of Run-DMC's DJ Jam Master Jay's life, testifying that the DJ exclaimed "Oh shit" just before being shot and killed in 2002. Rincon, who was also shot, explained that fear kept him from cooperating with authorities for years. He identified the defendants, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, as the assailants and recounted the events leading up to the shooting. The trial centers on the government's claim that the murder was linked to a drug operation, while the defense argues that witnesses may have cooperation deals with the feds and that memories fade over time.
