Accomplice Pleads Guilty in Jam Master Jay Murder

0:00It's April 27th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI and packed with headlines. A 52-year-old New York man named Jay Bryan just pleaded guilty as an accomplice in the 2002 murder of Run DMC's Jam Master Jay. Bryan admitted in Brooklyn Federal Court on April 27th that he knew a gun would be used to kill Jason Maisel, Jam Master Jay's real name, and that he helped by opening a locked door at the Queen studio. This all stemmed from a messy drug deal where Maisel got 10 kilos of cocaine on consignment, but cut out his godson Carl Jordan Jr. and friend. Ronald Washington from a $200,000 score in Maryland. Prosecutors say that beef led Jordan and Washington to gun down Maisel while he played video games with one shot to the head killing the 37-year-old DJ on October 30th, 2002. Jordan and Washington got convicted last February, though Jordan's verdict got overturned last December over drug links and now Bryan faces at least 15 years when he gets sentenced, closing a 20-plus-year hunt for justice.
