Two suspects have been indicted in the 2002 killing of hip hop artist Jam Master Jay, which until now had been one of New York City’s most notorious unsolved killings, two law enforcement officials told the Associated Press on Monday.

The officials were not authorized to speak publicly and did so on condition of anonymity. Federal prosecutors were expected to announce the charges at a news conference Monday afternoon.

Jason “Jay” Mizell, known professionally as Jam Master Jay, was a member of 1980s hip-hop sensation Run-DMC, behind hits such as “It’s Tricky” and the Aerosmith remake collaboration “Walk This Way.”

The 37-year-old Jay was shot once in the head in his Queens recording studio by a masked assailant, police said at the time. He left behind a wife and three children.

I chose to start the one about Malcolm X instead. I wonder why they’re anonymous.

I watched it last year. I didn't know all of the details about the shooting and the studio and everything.

Somehow I missed this on Netflix

Mr. Washington, 56, is currently serving a federal prison sentence for robbery. Mr. Jordan, 36, was taken into custody on Sunday and previously had gone to prison for shooting Mr. Mizell’s nephew.

Dude is 36 today. Which makes him 18 at the time of the murder!! A fucking child took part in taking out JMJ. Damn..

It’s always the reckless youngins that have the gall to take out an OG. No code or moral compass to those types.

Depending on where you grew up and what you've seen. Child my ass.

It’s like that shit from that HBO show “The Outsider” where the monster fucks your family to pieces. How many people from one family can you shoot?!

Feels like police were waiting for this to fall in their laps and solve itself. Definitely worth a watch, after reading the article.

since the turn of the millennium. 2002 really only feels like a few years ago, not almost 20.

this new era has been moving at a 1:3 ratio. shit's crazy.

I just turned 46, but I feel like I'm 37-40

Blame #45...even for the $hit before he got here. LMAO

whenever someone mentioned 20/25 years ago i immediately thought they meant in the 70s. makes me think of how long ago the 70s seemed to me in the 90s. now people are probably feeling that way about the 90s, maybe even early 2000s.

i was also surprised he was only 37, dont remember how old i thought he was when it happened. i probably was expecting to read he was 50.

i guess i always hoped that wasnt it. 10 keys...Jay was knee deep in the game. they always said he was the real street cat out the group tho
