A break in the Jam Master Jay case?
I don't usually do news on this site any more but I just happened to catch this story while looking up something else on the amNY newspaper website and, because Jay was one of the all-time, great legends in hip hop, thought I'd share:
"The gunman who killed hip hop icon Jam Master Jay has never been identified, but he has what could be a telltale characteristic _ a tattooed neck, according to a witness.
Randy Allen noted the mystery gunman's tattoo in a story in the Daily News Sunday, marking what the newspaper called his first extensive interview about one of the hip hop world's legendary unsolved slayings. Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was shot dead in his Queens studio on Oct. 30, 2002. Despite a long investigation and substantial reward, the case has been stymied by uncooperative witnesses, investigators say.
Allen, Mizell's business partner, told the Daily News he had cooperated completely with investigators and was furious that others have not.
"This is a case that can be solved," he said."
