Witness Identifies Accused Killer in Run-DMC Jam Master Jay's Murder Trial

A witness, Uriel “Tony” Rincon, testified in court that he saw Run-DMC member Jam Master Jay being shot by his godson, Karl Jordan Jr., in 2002. Rincon described the shooting at the Brooklyn federal court, stating that Jordan approached Jay and offered a "half-handshake" before shooting him. He also revealed that he had stayed silent for over two decades out of fear for his and his mother's safety, but eventually decided to tell the truth for the sake of Jay's family. Jordan and Ronald Washington are charged with murder in connection to a narcotics trafficking conspiracy, with prosecutors alleging that the shooting was motivated by "greed and revenge" after a drug deal went wrong.
