Prosecutors claim that the two had “executed” Mr. Mizell after he sought to exclude them from “a multi-kilogram, multistate narcotics transaction.” In July 2002, just months before the murder, court papers say, Mr. Mizell had received about 10 kilos of cocaine “on consignment” from a supplier in Maryland. Mr. Washington and Mr. Jordan were supposed to have been his partners in the deal, the papers say, but after a dispute, Mr. Mizell threatened to cut them out.
Two men have been arrested in the 2002 slaying of Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay, a report said Monday.
Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan, Jr. — longtime suspects in the hip-hop pioneer’s execution-style murder in his Queens studio — are accused of killing Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, while trafficking drugs, the New York Times said.
Washington, 56, is already behind bars for robbery, while Jordan, 36, was nabbed Sunday, law-enforcement sources told the paper.
