Two men have been found guilty of Jam Master Jay's murder.

Two men, Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington, have been convicted of murder in the 2002 killing of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay. The anonymous Brooklyn federal jury found them guilty of killing the pioneering DJ over what prosecutors characterized as revenge for a failed drug deal. Jam Master Jay, born Jason Mizell, worked the turntables in Run-DMC as it helped hip-hop break into the pop music mainstream in the 1980s.
