Alleged Witness To Jam Master Jay's Murder Sentenced to 17 Years In Jail

An eyewitness to the killing of Jam Master Jay was sentenced to 17 years in prison for a string of robberies after the Run-DMC legend's death. Federal prosecutors claim Ronald Washington was more than a witness to the 2002 shooting in Jay's Queens recording studio. They have said in court papers that Washington brandished a gun and made people in the studio stay on the floor while an unidentified gunman shot Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell.
The 40-year-old Washington has denied any involvement and has not been charged in the slaying of the rap pioneer. Still, prosecutors asked a judge to consider it in sentencing Washington on Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Nina Gershon declined, noting that Washington wasn't prosecuted in the shooting. Defense lawyer Susan Kellman says the prosecutors' claims are based on nothing but "gossip."

Who Killed Jam Master Jay?

Five years ago Run DMC DJ Jam Master Jay was murdered, execution style, in his Hollis, Queens recording studio. In the studio at the time was Jay's business partner Randy Allen, Randy's sister [who was also Jay's receptionist] Lydia High and Urieco Rinco. Jay's family believes the shooters, who Lydia buzzed into the studio, was someone Jay and his friends knew. Lydia, before she stopped cooperating with police and went into hiding, told the cops Jay hugged one of the men before he was shot. The others have refused to speak with police to this day.
