The man who has been convicted of the senseless murder of Rap pioneer Jam Master Jay was recently stabbed in a jail fight.
Karl “Little D” Jordan Jr. was recently involved in an altercation that led to him being stabbed at Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York. According to The Daily News, the rumble stemmed from a dispute between two gangs. After the melee he was hospitalized and treated for his injuries, all which were non life-threatening. NBC News reports that a spokesman for the Bureau of Prisons confirmed that brawl happened around 1 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 22, between “multiple incarcerated individuals.” They also confirmed another unidentified individual also needed medical attention.
After many years of rumor and speculation the Jam Master Jay murder trial finally commenced in February 2024. Karl Jordan Jr. and Ronald Washington were both found guilty on counts of murder and trafficking. The United States Attorney’s Office allege that Jam Master Jay was financing drug buys. In August 2002, he is said to have purchased 10 kilograms of cocaine on consignment from a distributor out of California. The drugs were intended to be split up amongst Jam Master Jay and Karl Jordan, but a dispute led to the Rap pioneer cutting him out of the deal. Jam Master Jay was shot at his studio in Queens, New York, on Oct. 30, 2002.
Karl Jordan Jr. is currently awaiting sentencing.
