Two men have been found guilty of murdering Jason “Jay” Mizell, who is famously known as Jam Master Jay from the hip-hop music group Run-DMC, per the DOJ.
A Brooklyn jury delivered the guilty verdicts to Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan, Jr. in court on Tuesday. Once sentenced, they each face 20 years to life in prison.
Washington is the childhood friend of Mizell, while Jordan is Mizell’s godson. A fight reportedly almost erupted in the courtroom following the verdicts. “Y’all just killed two innocent people,” Washington yelled. Supporters of Jordan’s were also in attendance, whom he told he loved before U.S.
