By all accounts, Run-DMC's DJ, Jam Master Jay was a great guy. So who wanted him dead? And why?

At around 7:30 pm on the cold, rainy evening of Wednesday, October 30, 2002, someone walked into the lounge of a recording studio in Jamaica, Queens, in New York and fatally shot Jason Mizell with a 40-calbire gun: once to the body and another to the head. He died instantly. Whoever pulled the trigger just walked away. This was big news.

And why would anyone want Jam Master Jay dead? Was the result of some feud or beef? Are these stories about debts, the IRS, and a missing ten kilos of cocaine? Was there connection to the murder of Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas back in 1996? And what did 50 Cent have to do with all this?This whole story is very complicated and has plenty of twists and turns. It is a confusing tale of music and murder. But we might soon have some answers.
