The Feds Caught The Terrorists Who Killed Jam Master Jay!

The feds announced a break in the unsolved murder of Jam Master Jay.
The U.S. Justice Department announced the arrests of two terrorists involved in the killing of American rapper and DJ, Jam Master Jay.

Jam Master Jay was killed in October 2002 at his recording studio and the case remained a mystery until the feds broke the case and made arrests.

On Monday, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York unsealed an indictment against two men (who I won't name) in a murder plot that involved a drug dispute.

The two men were conspiring to kill Jam Master Jay (born Jason William Mizell), the hype man and producer of the iconic rap group Run-D.M.C.

The case was open for nearly 20 years.

Seth D. DuCharme, Acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District said law enforcement never gave up on finding the individuals involved in this senseless tragedy.

"It was important to us then and remains extremely important to us now to bring justice for the victim, his family, friends and the community that cared so much about those events," he said.

The news helps bring an end to the senseless killing of one of the most influential members of hip-hop.

He was a member of a rap group that broke the barriers of pushing hip-hop into the mainstream.





Run-D.M.C., Public Enemy, Eric B & Rakim, The Beastie Boys, Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Flash, Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J, EPMD, DJ Kool Herc and Marley Mal were the legends of the rap game.

Jam Master Jay, Run (Joseph Simmons) and DMC (Darryl McDaniels) formed the group in 1981 and had rocked the mic for years. With Run and DMC rapping on the mic and Jay mixing the beats and turntables, the group succeed in making numerous hits.

Run-D.M.C. was the first hip-hop act to do a crossover hit with rockers Aerosmith. Their song, "Rock This Way" was a breakthrough hit. It's still a song that is played in many bars, weddings and a travel themed song.

The indictment alleges that Jam Master Jay was involved in trafficking the naro. The feds said that he was a part of a smuggling organization that had transported kilogram-quantities of cocaine between 1996 and 2002. Aside from the music career, the feds believe he was a runner for a known domestic terrorist group.

He acquired 10 kilograms of cocaine that was intended to be distributed by the terrorists. On the promise of getting some of the cut, Jam Master Jay allowed them to distribute the yayo out of his studio in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens.

So the two conspired to ambush Jay. On October 30, 2002, they broke down a door and open fire on Jay and another man. They managed to rob the men of their properties and took off into the darkness.

The alleged terrorist was only 17 or 18 at the time of the shooting and the other one was in his early 30s. The two were nabbed by the U.S. Marshals without a bullet fired.

The youngest is facing one count of conspiracy and seven counts of distribution of cocaine for alleged incidents in 2017. He was arrested on Sunday and pleaded not guilty on Monday in a court appearance from the federal time out.
Run-D.M.C. shortly broke up after the death of Jam Master Jay.
The oldest is facing a federal sandwich that could carry the death penalty. The Hobbs Act had got him in a bind. Not only he's a felon with disability, he is a known offender. He was convicted in 2007 for a string of stick ups and was sentenced to federal time out. He was close to being released from his 210 month bid in the federal time out. That's no longer the case.

The charges these two are facing could carry a LIFE or DEATH card if convicted in federal court.

The state of New York could push for state charges that could put the two in the iron college for LIFE.

They will serve the sentences concurrently.

Jay's family disputes the drug kingpin allegations.

Jam Master Jay helped build a career for a young Curtis James Jackson III.

Jackson is known as 50 Cent. Before he became the iconic rapper/business mogul/internet troll, 50 was this grimy hustler from Queens. He made the song called Ghetto Qu'ran which fingered the two and their boss Kenneth "Lord Supreme" McGriff. That led to the campaign by rival rapper Ja Rule to label 50 a "snitch."

McGriff was allegedly the man who helped Irving "Irv Gotti" and Chris "Chaz" Lorenzo start up the Murder, Inc. rap label.

The feds were on the case of the oldest terrorist. They believe he was the point man involved in the shooting of former Tupac Shakur associate Randy "Stretch" Walker, a member of the Thug Life posse. Tupac accused James "Jimmy Henchman" Rosemond and Sean "Puffy" Combs of conspiring a hit on him in 1994.

Tupac was gunned down in September 1996.

The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

GUN VIOLENCE IS THE NUMBER ONE THREAT IN THE UNITED STATES.
