Jam Master Jay's Convicted Killer Stabbed in Jail Brawl

Karl Jordan, one of the men convicted for the 2002 murder of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay, was stabbed during a violent brawl at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Jordan, who was hospitalized but in stable condition, was involved in a fight reportedly between rival gangs. This incident occurred while he awaits sentencing for the murder of the hip-hop pioneer, Jason Mizell, known as Jam Master Jay, who was killed in a dispute over a drug deal. Jordan and Ronald Washington were found guilty last year for the murder. The facility where Jordan is held is notorious for its violent conditions, having experienced two fatal stabbings last summer. Despite the attack, Jordan survived, prompting mixed reactions from those close to Mizell.
