11/26/07 - Witness Of Jam Master Jay's Shooting Speaks Out

Legendz · 11-26-2007, 04:12 AM

Uriel (Tony) Rincon, a close friend of Jam Master Jay who was with him on the night he was shot and killed, recently spoke publicly about the legendary deejay’s slaying for the first time.

On October 30th 2002, two armed men stormed into Jam Master Jay’s recording studio in Queens, New York and killed the Run DMC co-founder and deejay. To date, his murder has not been solved.

Rincon told The New York Daily News that he was at the studio sitting on a couch next to JMJ playing a video game, and that the deejay had a placed a gun he had been carrying on couch's arm prior to the two men storming in.

Rincon said while he was reaching behind the couch to answer his phone, he heard JMJ say “Oh shit” and a gunshot rang out. Rincon would be hit in his left leg and then a second shot followed immediately.

Rincon claims when he turned around, JMJ was on the floor with a gunshot wound to his head and he saw a man with a dark sweater running out of the studio.

Mike B and Randy Allen, close associates of Jam Master Jay who were in the studio’s control room working with a singer, came out immediately when they heard the shots but the gunmen were already gone.

Rincon told The Daily News that he thinks that Jam Master Jay may have known his killers and didn’t view them as threat, and therefore didn't reach for his gun quicker.

“Had there been immediate animosity or if there was a problem, they wouldn't have been that close," Rincon explained. “His gun was right there, he would've been blazing.”

Rincon also said that seeing Jam M aster Jay with a gun was an indication that the deejay knew someone was out to get him.

“The fact that he had his gun right there and putting everything together it kind of makes sense,” Rincon said. “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.”

In a recent interview with Daily News, Allen accused Rincon of refusing to reveal the identity of the killer to help authorities with their investigation, but Rincon says he never saw the gunman.

“I wish I saw...because it would be over,” said Rincon. “I told [detectives] everything I could tell them. I wish I could tell them more.”

Allan’s sister, Lydia High, who worked as JMJ's assistant, was ordered to the floor by the gunmen when they stormed in. High has said that she didn’t get a clear look at the man who shot JMJ but said he had a tattoo on his neck, which she also couldn’t identify.

She did tell authorities that the man who put a gun to her head was Ronald “Tinard” Washington.

Washington, who was well known to Jam Master Jay and his circle of friends, was convicted earlier this year for six armed robberies he committed in November 2002, just weeks after JMJ's murder.

Washington was identified by federal prosecutors in April as one of the gunmen involved in JMJ’s murder. He has also been connected to the killing of Randy “Stretch” Walker, a close associate of Tupac Shakur.

Washington has denied any involvement in the killings and has not been charged.
