Hours before he was gunned down, hip-hop pioneer Jam Master Jay showed up at his Queens studio with a .45-caliber handgun stuffed in his jeans, afraid he was about to die, a longtime pal of the rapper has told the Daily News.
"That was the first time I ever saw Jay with a gun," Ronald (Tinard) Washington said. "He was scared. He didn't say it, but I know Jay. He was scared."
In an exclusive jailhouse interview with The News, Washington said he knows who killed Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell.
He knows because he was there that day, he says.
Washington - who is awaiting trial in Nassau County on unrelated robbery charges - has told police investigators and prosecutors his story.
Detectives believe that Washington was nearby when Mizell was killed in his Hollis, Queens, recording studio in October. But they are unsure whether that makes him a good witness or the likely lookout for the killer.
