Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay (real name Jason Mizell) was shot and killed in 2002, and arrests weren’t made until 2020. Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan Jr. were suspected of murdering the hip-hop pioneer, and in 2024 they were found guilty. Now, Karl Jordan Jr.’s conviction has been nixed after the judge ruled that there was not enough evidence that he had a motive to kill Mizell.
