TL;DR Summary

Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay's godson and childhood friend have been found guilty of his murder in New York City in 2002, after being cut out of a drug deal. The hip-hop pioneer was shot in the head at his recording studio. The two defendants now face 20 years to life in prison, and the case remained unsolved for years until federal prosecutors charged them in 2020. Witnesses testified about the shooting, and fear prevented them from identifying the killers earlier. Another man is facing a separate trial in relation to the case.
