2 men charged in killing of hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay


 Two men have been charged in the fatal shooting of New York City hip-hop legend Jam Master Jay, a founding member of Run-DMC, whose death has remained unsolved for nearly 18 years.

The men, identified as Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan, have been indicted on murder charges in the death of the pioneering DJ, whose real name was Jason Mizell, the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn announced Monday. Jordan, 36, was arrested Sunday and pleaded not guilty Monday. Washington, 56, is serving a federal prison sentence and will be arraigned later this week.

Both men are charged with murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and firearm-related murder, and Jordan faces several additional charges of distributing narcotics.
