Run-DMC DJ slain in recording studio

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Police Thursday were investigating the shooting death of Jam Master Jay, the DJ of the legendary rap trio Run-DMC.

Jam Master Jay, 37, was shot in the head Wednesday night around 7:30 p.m. in a Queens recording studio, according to police. Another man, Urieco Rinco, 25, was shot in the leg and taken to a hospital, police said.

Investigators have found two .45-caliber shell casings, but no clues to the motive.

Witnesses described the shooter as a young black man in a white sweatsuit or sweatshirt, according to CNN affiliate WABC in New York.

Police said two gunmen were buzzed in to the building, went up to the second-floor studio and shot Jam Master Jay once at close range, WABC reported.

Fans of the group gathered outside the studio Wednesday night and through the day Thursday to pay their respects.

Really really sad. It's as bad as Tupac's and maybe Biggie's death too!
Those people should be shot. What's up with the recent rise in violence. Why can't we live normally.
