Ronald “Tenad” Washington has been identified by a witness who claims that the convict confessed to her his involvement in the 2002 shooting and murdering of Jam Master Jay and to the unsolved murder of Stretch, a close associate of Tupac Shakur, this according to The Boston Herald. These claims developed during Washington’s federal robbery trial, this month.
Washington was convicted on April 5th, 2002 for six armed robberies and holdups he committed in November of 2002 - weeks after Jam Master Jay’s murder, yet, Washington has denied all allegations of his part in both murder cases.
Washington is expected to be named in the Jam Master Jay and Stretch murders when the federal government discloses its indictment.
“Ronald Washington is a bad, bad guy,” said one of the sources. “He is a key player in this rap industry.”
Lydia High, a studio receptionist at the studio where the 2002 shooting occurred, is another witness that has been under police protection and has told investigators that Washington forced her face down on the floor as another man shot Jam Master Jay in the head.
