A THIRD man has been charged with murdering a Hip Hop legend years after the first two suspects were found.
Jam Master Jay, 39, was shot to death inside his recording studio in New York City on October 30, 2002, sparking a decades-long investigation.
Jay Bryant, 49, was being held on unrelated drug charges when he was accused of being involved with Jay’s death, ABC affiliate station KABC-TV reports.

He joins two other suspected killers Karl Jordan and Ronald Washington who were hit with murder charges in 2020.
Prosecutors believe the music legend, who helped to bring Hip Hop into mainstream culture with his group Run-DMC, was killed in a 2002 cocaine deal gone awry.
Federal prosecutors previously said Jordan and Washington murdered the rap star after he cut Washington out of the deal.
The suspects are all in custody, but it’s unclear when they will stand trial.
