Briefly

Karl 'Little D' Jordan, one of the men convicted of murdering rap legend Jam Master Jay, was stabbed during a fight at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The brawl, which involved multiple inmates, left two hospitalized. The facility has a notorious reputation for violence, having experienced multiple stabbings in recent years. Jordan has been incarcerated since 2020 for the murder of Jam Master Jay, which remains a high-profile case in the hip-hop community. A family member expressed relief that Jordan survived the attack, preferring him to remain in jail for life.
One of Mizell's cousins told NBC News he was glad that Jordan survived the jailhouse stabbing. "I think him being killed would be the easy way out," said the cousin.
A spokesman for the federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that there was a fight at the jail involving "multiple incarcerated individuals" just after 1 p.m. on Saturday.
