“More than two decades after the cold-blooded, execution-style killing of Mr. Mizell, an exhaustive investigation revealed Bryant’s role, and today he finally admitted his guilt,” said United States Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr., in a written statement. “The prosecutors in our Office and our law enforcement partners never give up, no matter how long it takes, in the pursuit of justice for the victim and the victim’s family.”
Bryant was indicted nearly three years after Jordan and Washington, after officials said that they found his DNA on a hat in Jay’s recording studio. Prosecutors said witnesses said Jordan was the shooter while Washington blocked the door during the shooting.
Prosecutors argued he helped the gunmen enter the building by opening a back door, though no witness placed him inside the room during the shooting.
After a disagreement between Washington and another person, Jay cut Washington and Jordan out of the deal, leading to the killing of the popular DJ.
No court date was revealed for Bryant’s sentencing.
