Will murder trial finally solve mystery of Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay?

The hip-hop pioneer was shot in a New York studio in 2002 but now a key witness is revealing what he says really happened

Who killed Jam Master Jay has been one of rap's most enduring mysteries. But this week a Brooklyn court heard from a witness who was in the New York recording studio when the Run-DMC hip-hop pioneer - born Jason Mizell - was gunned down in 2002.

Across the courtroom, studio gofer Uriel Tony" Rincon dramatically pointed to the rap star's godson Karl Jordan Jr, also known as Little D, and told jurors: He kind of walked directly to Jay and gave, like, half a handshake, with an arm. And at the same time, that's when I hear a couple of shots."
