A career criminal facing more time in jail claims he will be charged as an accessory to murder in the killing of Hip Hop Legend Jam Master Jay. He has been fingered by a witness who says the inmate confessed to his part in the 2002 shooting death of hip-hop icon Jam Master Jay and to the unsolved 1995 murder of a close associate of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur.

43-year-old Ronald “Tenad” Washington was on trial for robbery when this info was revealed. Washington says he’s expecting to be charged as an accessory in the slaying of Run-D.M.C. member Jam Master Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, and for the murder of Randy “Stretch” Walker, who rapped on the Thug Life album “Volume 1” with Shakur in the 1990s. “They want to blame me for all the blood in rap… They are trying to pen me up for these murders.” “It’s all lies. She’s telling them that I was mad at Jay because he is doing better than I am that I killed Stretch because he owed me something and I wanted it. She is making up lies because they threatened to deport her,” Apparently his girl turned states witness. That witness’s name is being withheld at this time.

Another witness, studio receptionist Lydia High, has been under police protection since telling investigators that Washington forced her facedown on the floor as a second man shot Mizell in the head.

But Washington has maintained he was at the studio that day only because Mizell asked him for protection. “I’m not the nicest guy in the world,” he said. “People around here know that.”
