Two men have been convicted of murder in the death of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay. The brazen 2002 shooting left investigators at a loss for nearly two decades. An anonymous Brooklyn federal jury delivered the verdict Tuesday in the trial of Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington. The 40-year-old Jordan was the rap star’s godson. The 59-year-old Washington was an old friend who was bunking at the home of the DJ’s sister. Both men were arrested in 2020 and pleaded not guilty. Jam Master Jay, born Jason Mizell, was gunned down in his studio in front of witnesses on Oct. 30, 2002. Authorities were deluged with tips, rumors and theories but struggled to get witnesses to open up.
