A third man has been charged with murder in the 2002 killing of Run-D.M.C. hip hop pioneer Jam Master Jay
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn on Tuesday charged Jay Bryant, 49, in the death of the hip hop pioneer, whose given name was Jason Mizell. The charges against Bryant include murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and other drug-trafficking counts; he is currently awaiting trial on a separate drug-related indictment, prosecutors stated in a court filing.
“Securing an indictment in a secret grand jury, applying an extremely low burden of proof, is one thing,” Mr. de Castro stated. “Proving it at trial is another matter.” In a letter filed with the court on Tuesday, prosecutors said the three men entered the studio on Merrick Boulevard in Queens, and fled after the shooting. Bryant left behind an article of clothing at thescene, which contained his DNA, stated the filing. Although prosecutors said he later claimed to “one associate that he was in fact the shooter,” they believe Jordan fired the fatal shot.
Run-D.M.C. was founded in 1983 by high school friends Joseph “Run” Simmons and McDaniels in Hollis, Queens. Jay, was an old basketball friend of Simmons’ and, at the age of 18, was already an established local DJ. and Public Enemy credit the band with getting them their first breaks. “If Jam Master Jay and Run-DMC hadn’t looked out for us way back when,” said Adam “Ad Rock” Horovitz, “I don’t know where we’d be now.
