NEW YORK (WABC) -- A third man was charged Tuesday with the 2002 murder of Run DMC's Jam Master Jay.

Jay Bryant, 49, is currently being held on unrelated federal drug charges and will be arraigned on the murder charge at a later date.

An email seeking comment was sent to Bryant's attorney.

Karl Jordan and Ronald Washington were previously charged with the killing of Jason Mizell, also known as 'Jam Master Jay,' at a recording studio in Queens on October 30, 2002.

At the time the other two men were indicted, authorities said Jay's death involved a drug deal gone bad. In a letter filed with the court on Tuesday, prosecutors said Bryant and the two other men entered the building that evening, and then fled after the shooting. They said Bryant was seen going into the building, and his DNA was recovered at the scene.

BROOKLYN, New York (WABC) -- A Brooklyn federal court jury on Tuesday convicted two men, Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan, in the 2002 shooting death of Jason Mizell, better known as Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC.

Both man were found guilty as charged.

The jury sided with prosecutors who said that, prior to his murder, Mizell sought to exclude Washington from a multi-kilogram narcotics transaction. In retaliation, Washington and Jordan conspired to murder and ultimately killed the rap pioneer.

In addition to his music career, the trial established Mizell was involved in transporting cocaine for retail sale. In July 2002, Mizell acquired approximately ten kilograms of cocaine from a supplier in the Midwest. The cocaine was meant for distribution in Maryland by Washington, Jordan and other co-conspirators. A dispute between Washington and one of the co-conspirators resulted in Mizell telling Washington he would be cut out of the deal.

On October 30, 2002 Mizell and several others were present at his recording studio, 24/7 Studio, located on Merrick Boulevard in Queens. At 7:30 p.m., Washington and Jordan, armed with firearms, entered the studio. Each brandished a firearm. Washington pointed his firearm at one of the individuals located inside the studio and demanded that the person lay on the floor. Jordan approached Mizell, pointed his firearm at him, and fired two shots at close range.

The two people who were within feet of Mizell when he was shot in the head, gave highly emotional, tearful testimony.

A second shooting victim, Tony Rincon, testified that Jordan "walked directly to Jay, kind of gave him half a handshake and at the same time, that's when I hear a couple of shots. I see Jay just fall."

Defense attorneys, however, poked holes in the evidence -- or lack thereof -- in the 21-year-old cold case. No gun was ever recovered.

The crime scene unit didn't process the alleged point of entry, the back door, and the only DNA found at the scene was that of a third suspect charged in the case, not Jordan or Washington.

:bravo: I'm glad the family (and hip hop) have finally gotten justice.

Maybe this will lead to the murder if Stretch being solved as well since one of them is also accused of killing him.
