A third man, from Queens, has been charged in the 2002 shooting death of Run-DMC star Jam Master Jay, the hip-hop trailblazer who was shot in the head in his studio in 2002
Bryant's attorney, César de Castro, said in an email that they had just learned of the charges.
“Securing an indictment in a secret grand jury, applying an extremely low burden of proof, is one thing. Proving it at trial is another matter,” he said.At the time the other two men were indicted, authorities said Jay's death involved a drug deal gone bad. In a letter filed with the court on Tuesday, prosecutors said Bryant and the two other men entered the building that evening, and then fled after the shooting.
Jay was in Run-DMC with Joseph “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniel in the early 1980s. The group helped bring hip-hop music into the mainstream. Run DMC's hits include “King of Rock,”"It’s Tricky” and a remake of Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.” For years, Jay's death lingered as a cold case, with witnesses reluctant to speak up despite reward money being offered.
