Jason Mizzell aka Jam Master Jay is a hip hop and DJ pioneer as well as musical icon with legendary Rap Group RUN DMC. Also little known fact, he’s my 2nd cousin. I found out when I was a teenager but I never had the chance to meet him. Anyway, Mizzell was murdered at his studio in New York City October 30, 2002 and after 22 years the case has finally came to a conclusion with all defendants charged in the murder being found guilty on all counts. It took 18 years before the first 2 defendants were indicted with the last being picked up last year.
