Two men charged with gunning down Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay in New York City more than 20 years ago were convicted Tuesday of the hip-hop icon’s long-unsolved slaying.
Ronald Washington, 59, and Karl Jordan Jr., 40, were found guilty by a Brooklyn federal jury of murdering the 37-year-old Jason Mizell inside his Queens music studio in what prosecutors said was a crime “motivated by greed and revenge.”
Washington, Mizell’s childhood friend, and Jordan, his godson, each face between 20 years-to-life behind bars at their sentencing.
The verdict followed a four-week trial in which jurors heard from several witnesses who recounted the moment the pair killed the legendary DJ inside his cramped 24/7 Studio in Hollis on Oct. 30, 2002.

In the end, justice was delayed but it was not denied.
