A verdict has been reached in the trial of two men from Hollis, Queens, who were charged for the Oct. 30, 2002, murder of Jam Master Jay, a member of the iconic hip-hop group Run-DMC. Karl Jordan Jr., also known as “Little D” and “Noid,” and Ronald Washington, also known as “Tinard,” were each charged with one count of murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and one count of firearm-related murder for the fatal shooting of Jam Master Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell.
Location of the Incident
The fatal shooting of Jam Master Jay took place at his recording studio, 24/7 Studio, located on Merrick Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens. Prosecutors alleged that the defendants, armed with a firearm, entered the studio at around 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 30, 2002, and carried out the cold-blooded murder of the famed DJ.

During the trial, prosecutors claimed that Mizell was murdered by Jordan and Washington because he was allegedly going to cut them out of a cocaine distribution deal involving approximately 10 kilograms of cocaine acquired from a narcotics supplier in the Midwest. Ralph Mullgrav, a drug dealer who declined to work with Washington, testified during the trial, stating that Mizell was not a drug dealer but had dabbled in drug sales to make ends meet.
Legal Proceedings
As part of the 10-count indictment, Jordan was also charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and seven counts of cocaine distribution in August 2020. Both defendants pleaded not guilty. The defense attorneys argued that there was no physical evidence linking their clients to the fatal shooting, pointing the finger at a third man who is expected to face trial in 2025.
Legacy of Jam Master Jay
Jason Mizell, known as Jam Master Jay, rose to fame in the 1980s as a member of the pioneering hip-hop trio Run DMC. The group was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2009 and received rap’s first Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2016, solidifying their place in music history.
Final Words
The verdict in the trial of Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington is expected to have significant implications for the case and the legacy of Jam Master Jay. The outcome of the trial will determine the fate of the two defendants, who are facing serious charges related to the murder of the legendary DJ. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
