Jay Bryant pleaded guilty in New York on Monday to helping lure Run-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay, Jason Mizell, into the 2002 ambush that left him fatally shot in his Queens recording studio. The 52-year-old admitted in court he knew a gun would be used and said, "I knew that what I was doing was wrong and a crime." The plea resolves a nearly 25-year-old cold case and brings legal accountability in the long-unsolved murder of a hip-hop pioneer.
