Jay Bryant pleaded guilty in New York to helping lure Run-DMC DJ Jam Master Jay, Jason Mizell, into the 2002 ambush that left Mizell shot dead in his New York studio. Bryant, 52, told the court, "I knew a gun was going to be used to shoot Jason Mizell. I knew that what I was doing was wrong and a crime," admitting awareness of the plan. The guilty plea comes nearly 25 years after the killing and brings legal resolution that may offer closure to Mizell's family and fans.
