In a breaking story, this afternoon (February 27), a Brooklyn, New York jury has convicted two men for the murder of Hip-Hop legend Jam Master Jay (aka Jason Mizell). Karl Jordan, Jr. and Ronald Washington are the two men the court deemed responsible for the murder of the Run-D.M.C. co-founder on October 30, 2002. CNN reports that Jordan was Jay’s godson. That incident happened just miles from the courtroom in Jamaica, Queens. Washington, 59, and Jordan, 40, face at least 20 years behind bars.

The details of the verdict allege that Karl Jordan fired two shots from a .40 caliber pistol, including one into the Hip-Hop legend’s skull. Another shot wounded JMJ’s friend Uriel “Tony” Rincon, who was playing video games with Mizell. An employee of Jay’s label, JMJ Records, Lydia High, was another eye witness. Rincon and High both testified in the trial, which began late last month.
