The murder remained a cold case until prosecutors in 2020 announced a 10-count indictment against suspects Ronald Washington, now 59, and Karl Jordan Jr, the alleged shooter, who is now 40.<\/p>\n<p>Both men appeared in court sharply dressed \u2013 Jordan in a blue vest over a white shirt with a striped tie, Washington in a black blazer \u2013 as the jury was sworn in and the prosecution opened.<\/p>\n<p>Mizell, Jordan and Washington all hailed from Hollis, Queens, where the DJ kept a studio even as his fame soared with Run-DMC hits including It\u2019s Tricky.<\/p>\n<p>Run-DMC famously railed against drug culture, but according to prosecutors, Mizell got involved as a middleman dealer to support his lifestyle and those close to him as buzz around the group\u2019s music began to fade.<\/p>\n<p>Witnesses Prosecutor Miranda Gonzalez told jurors that following a drug deal dispute, Jordan shot a 40-caliber bullet into Mizell\u2019s head, \u201ckilling him instantly\u201d in a \u201cbrazen murder\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>She said Washington, also armed, forced witnesses to the floor before fleeing with Jordan and an alleged accomplice who had let the men in through a back door.<\/p>\n<p>She said: Gonzalez added that many people, including Washington, relied on Mizell for money, prompting the artist\u2019s lucrative side hustle in the drug trade.<\/p>\n<p>But John Diaz, representing Jordan, emphasised in his statement how \u201cthe narrative has changed over time,\u201d noting how witnesses refused to cooperate with authorities for months and even years.<\/p>\n<p>Defence attorney Ezra Spilke told jurors the case was focused on \u201c10 seconds, 21 years ago\u201d. He called the prosecution\u2019s account of events \u201cone version of many\u201d, questioning the validity of memories dating back a generation.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasised the friendship between Washington and Mizell, as well as the financial situation discussed by the prosecution: \u201cWhy bite the hand that feeds you?\u201d Spilke said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMizell was a beloved artist, but convicting the wrong person.<br \/>\n. does not solve the tragedy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just adds another one to it.<br \/>\nJordan, who was 18 at the time of the alleged crime, and Washington face charges of murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and firearms-related murder.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors called James Lusk, a retired detective who was among the first on the scene, as their first witness in the trial, which is expected to last four weeks. Hip hop pioneers<\/p>\n<p>Along with LL Cool J and Public Enemy, Run-DMC were trailblazers of new-school hip hop \u2013 mixing rock elements, aggressive boasting and sociopolitical commentary \u2013 and its outgrowth, golden era hip hop, which included eclectic sampling.<\/p>\n<p>The seminal group were the first rappers featured on MTV and established a new rap aesthetic incorporating street culture, a departure from the flashy, disco-inflected attire of their predecessors.<\/p>\n<p>Their single My Adidas off their hit album Raising Hell led to an endorsement deal with the brand, kicking off today\u2019s inextricable link between hip hop culture and sneakers.<\/p>\n<p>And the Walk This Way remake off the same album was even more successful than the original 1970s hit. Prior to his death, Mizell became influential in New York as a cultivator of local talent, working with young rappers and co-founding a DJ academy.<\/p>\n<p>Jam Master Jay\u2019s slaying followed a spate of murders within the rap community in the 1990s, including the shootings of superstars Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B. I. G. The suspects on trial could have faced the death penalty but US Attorney General Merrick Garland directed against it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
