A Queens man whose conviction in the 2002 killing of Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay was overturned by a federal judge has been granted a $1 million bond and could be released within days.

Brooklyn federal court Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall on Monday ordered the release of Karl Jordan Jr., 42, who was arrested in 2020 in connection with the death of the legendary DJ whose real name was Jason Mizell.

Jordan was previously found guilty of executing Jam Master Jay, but his conviction was subsequently overturned by the federal judge. The circumstances surrounding the conviction reversal were not detailed in available reports.

Jam Master Jay, a founding member of the pioneering hip-hop group Run-DMC, was shot and killed in his Queens recording studio in October 2002. The case remained unsolved for nearly two decades before arrests were made.

The bond decision means Jordan could be freed pending further legal proceedings, though the specific conditions of his release were not immediately clear. The case has drawn significant attention given Jam Master Jay's prominence in hip-hop history and the long timeline between the killing and arrests in the case.
