The convicted gunman in the 2002 murder of Hip-Hop legend Jam Master Jay has been hospitalized after being stabbed 18 times during a prison gang fight at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.

On Feb. 22, Karl Jordan, who was found guilty in 2024 of pulling the trigger in the shooting death of the iconic DJ, was wounded in the altercation and admitted to the hospital in serious condition.

At the time of the attack, Jordan and fellow members of his gang, the Bloods, were engaged in a fight with rival gang, the Trinitarios, leaving multiple people wounded.

Jordan’s injuries were the most serious, leading to the collapse of both his lungs—though condition has since been upgraded.

The gang fight led to a lock down of the facility and the suspension of all visitation privileges for at least one month, as the notorious holding facility continues to battle scandals and controversy.

Jordan and his accomplice, Ronald “Tinard” Washington, are believed to have slain Jam Master Jay for being cut out of a proposed cocaine trafficking operation to be based in Baltimore. It was also alleged to be supplied by founding Black Mafia Family member Terry “Southwest T” Flenory.

Jordan and Washington are still awaiting sentencing for the murder of Jam Master Jay. Both face a minimum of 20 years in prison up to a maximum of life.
