Who Killed Jam Master Jay?

This is a very good documentary. I really enjoyed it. It is 2024 and the case has finally been solved, so some of the theories are very interesting to see and it was very interesting too see one of the theories and people that was originally suspected actually turned out to be the murdered of Jam Master Jay. Overall very sad story for all the families involved. When someon3 commits a murder, nobody wins. It's just sad. The victim loses their life and the murderer does too because they go to jail and the family loses of both loses because their loved ones are no longer here. This is a good documentary to watch over the death of this hip hop legend.
