- The collision occurred on the 24th anniversary of Jam Master Jay's murder.
- Jay Bryant pleaded guilty to aiding killers in Jam Master Jay's death.
Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, a co-founder of the iconic hip-hop group Run-DMC, was involved in a vehicle accident in Los Angeles. The rapper was a passenger in an SUV that collided with a garbage truck on the 105 freeway in the West Athens neighborhood on Friday, October 30.

In a separate but connected legal development, Jay Bryant pleaded guilty in April to his role in the murder. He admitted to helping the killers gain entry to Jam Master Jay's studio and faces a sentence of 15 to 20 years.
Bryant's plea included detailed admissions of his involvement in a drug deal and his knowledge that Jam Master Jay would be killed. He expressed remorse for his actions, acknowledging that he knew what he was doing was wrong and constituted a crime.
