Jam Master Jay killed

http://www.mtv.com/news/a...lines=true

NEW YORK — Legendary hip-hop DJ Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC was shot and killed in Queens on Wednesday (October 30), according to group representative Dave Goodsen.

Police have confirmed that two men were shot inside a studio on Merrick Boulevard at 7:30 p.m. local time and say the victims have not been identified.

According to police, one man was dead on arrival after being rushed to a local hospital. Representatives for Run-DMC claim the victim was Jam Master Jay, a.k.a. Jason Mizell.

Police did not disclose the condition of the other victim.

Right before the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards in August, Darryl McDaniels, a.k.a. Jay's longtime musical compatriot DMC, said that the Queens group was going to hit the studio and road for an album and tour in commemoration of their 20th anniversary (see "Run-DMC Plan Return To B-Boyism On Anniversary LP").

Run-DMC, who recently wrapped a tour with Kid Rock and Aerosmith, were scheduled to perform Thursday (October 31) as part of the half-time festivities at a Washington Wizards home game.

MTV News will have more on this story as it develops.

cry This is such a shame. Jay was a really nice guy, and a true innovator in hip-hop. There isn't a single act in the Hip-hop world that doesn't owe RUN-DMC a debt of gratitude. They're still the kings!

can everybody say..."THAT's FUCK UUUP!!!"
i'll have to agree with 4LOVE on this point.
"the love of guns and lack of respect for life..."
but then too, the lack of investigation and bringing these fucks to justice plays a big role in it also.
R.I.P. JAMMASTER JAY.
