Inmate Suspected In Jam Master Jay Murder Case
Tuesday, April 17, 2007 By: Kenny Rodriguez
A jailed criminal has been pointed out by an unnamed witness in connection to the 2002 murder of Jam Master Jay, and the unsolved 1995 murder of a close friend of Tupac Shakur, according to the Boston Herald.
“They want to blame me for all the blood in rap,” inmate Ronald Washington told the newspaper from a Brooklyn prison. “They are trying to pen me up for these murders.”
Washington, 43, who is serving time for six armed robberies he committed in 2002, denied involvement in either murder, and refutes the unnamed witness, whose name has been withhold by the newspaper.
The murders of JMJ (born Jason Mizell) and Stretch (born Randy Walker) are the focus of ongoing federal investigations in New York that “promises to blow the lid off violence in the rap industry,” according to the Herald.
Washington is expected to be named in these federal cases.
Another witness, studio receptionist Lydia High, has been under police protection since telling investigators that Washington forced her facedown on the floor as a second man shot Mizell in the head.
But Washington has maintained he was at the studio that day only because Mizell asked him for protection.
“I’m not the nicest guy in the world,” he said. “People around here know that.”
Jam Master Jay is best known as the DJ for the legendary rap group Run-DMC. Meanwhile, Stretch was featured on Tupac’s album “Thug Life: Volume 1” in the 1990s.
