Four years ago an arrest was finally made in the 2002 murder of RUN-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay [click here if you missed that].
The trial started this week in New York...
From The Sun
RUN-DMC star Jam Master Jay was killed more than 20 years ago over a drug deal, jurors heard this week.
The 37-year-old, real name Jason Mizell, was shot dead at his recording studio in Queens, New York, in October 2002.
His godson Karl Jordan Jr, 40, is on trial in New York accused of killing the DJ with pal Ronald Washington, 59.
Prosecutors said on Monday the pair, who deny murder, carried out the “execution” as revenge after they were cut out of a drug deal worth nearly $200,000.
Jordan, who was 18 at the time, is said to have shot Jay in the head with a handgun.
Despite the group publicly speaking out against drug culture at the time, Jay is said to have been a middleman in cocaine deals to fund his lifestyle as his music career faded.
