MONDAY NOVEMBER 26, 2007

A witness in the murder of beloved hip hop pioneer Jam Master Jay, real name Jason Mizell, has finally stepped forward and brought new details to the October 30th, 2002 homicide.

Uriel Rincon, who was with Mizell on the night of the shooting, spoke publicly for the first time regarding the legendary DJ's death.

“Obviously, something was up. That person had all the chance to take everybody's life. It was extremely personal. It had to be somebody he knew.”
