Jay Bryant, 49, from Queens, who was in custody already on unrelated federal drug charges, denies the fresh charges. Jam Master Jay was shot in the head in his studio by a masked man in 2002. In 2020, two other men, Ronald Washington and Karl Jordan Jr, were charged with his murder. They previously pleaded not guilty and are due to face trial in January 2024. The death of the trailblazing hip-hop DJ, whose real name was Jason Mizell, had remained an unsolved case for almost two decades. A court previously heard that the musician had been killed "in cold blood" after a big-money cocaine deal he had been involved in turned sour. Mr Bryant's attorney, César de Castro, said on Tuesday his client would plead not guilty to the charges. "Securing an indictment in a secret grand jury, applying an extremely low burden of proof, is one thing," he said. "Proving it at trial is another matter." The charges against him include murder while engaged in narcotics trafficking and other drug-trafficking counts. In a letter filed to the court, prosecutors said Mr Bryant, along with the two other men, had been seen entering and later fleeing the building after the shooting, and that his DNA had been recovered at the scene.
