Officials at the Hollis
Day Celebration in Queens, NY will rename the annual event Jam Master Jay Day,
paying tribute to the legendary DJ who was gunned down October 30, 2002.
The renaming of
Hollis day will be announced by Council Majority Whip Leroy Comrie at 3 P.M.
today (August 30).
Local organizers
are also attempting to rename a street after Jam Master Jay as well, hoping
to have the process completed before the first anniversary of Jay’s death.
Police are still
searching for a suspect or motive in relation to the murder of Jam Master Jay.
