Karl Jordan Jr., 36, pleaded not guilty to two counts involving the 2002 execution-style shooting of Jay, whose real name was Jason Mizell, in the hip-hop DJ’s Queens studio. The suspect also copped a not-guilty plea to the eight drug charges against him.
Prosecutors argued for Jordan to be remanded, saying he not only “executed’’ Mizell by pumping a bullet into his head at close range — but he threatened witnesses if they dared to expose him.
The judge agreed to hold the suspect, although Jordan can submit an appeal for bail at any point.
His alleged cohort, Ronald Washington, 56, was charged with two counts related to Mizell’s slaying amid drug trafficking, according to the grand jury indictment handed down against the pair Aug. 13. Washington is set to be arraigned later in the week.
Both suspects face up to life in prison — or the death penalty — if convicted.
US Attorney General William Barr has not said whether the government will seek the death penalty.
Prosecutors say Mizell was killed over a drug deal gone awry.
Mizell formed the classic hip-hop group with Joseph “Run’’ Simmons and Darryl McDaniels. Simmons is the brother of Def Jam Records founder Russell Simmons.
