Yes, I get how people don't want to cooperate out of fear of retaliation, hence the reason for those anonymous police tip lines. Hard to get folks on the witness stand without special protection for them and their family. But 22 years? Seems that there was some other "influence" shielding the drug distribution. See my other comment.
I also read an NPR article but it still doesn't make sense. Why would Jay be welcoming to the dudes he had a disagreement with especially when they came in through the fire escape. And the shooter was his Godson??? 🤷♂️

But everything doesn't need to make sense initially to be true. Also when you read an article, it might just be the writer didn't explain it well. The writer might have been asked for 800 words by 2PM. So every detail might not go in the story.
Why would Jay be welcoming to the dudes he had a disagreement with especially when they came in through the fire escape.
all the article says is,
greeted the two men as they entered.
so we don't know really how welcoming he was. He could have What's Up Or What do you want? or whatever........or maybe he welcomed there specifically because he thought there might be trouble, trying to be smooth with them perhaps calm them down. We don't know.
I just started watching a movie where a British gangster retires to Spain and all of sudden an old friend shows up and wants him back for a job. There's a good 10-15 minutes of people trying to friendly while every sentence is filled with menace.
I didn't know the answers to your questions so I looked for more detail.
They got into the building through the fire escape, but not into where Jam Master Jay was because that was on a different floor.
On Wednesday, October 30, 2002, Mizell was present at his recording studio, “24/7,” located on Merrick Boulevard in Jamaica, Queens, playing a video game with a friend and reviewing paperwork with his business manager. At approximately 7:30 p.m., the defendants’ co-conspirator opened a locked fire escape exit door allowing Washington and Jordan to enter the building without being seen by Mizell. Jordan, who was the victim’s godson, and Washington went upstairs to the recording studio where Jordan greeted Mizell, who was sitting on the couch and initially appeared happy to see him.
There's a good percentage of murders that happen among family members or friends. There's nothing unheard of there. They were also cocaine dealers. And murders in the cocaine trade are also not unheard of.
I mean any murder itself is unusual. So unusual details aren't too surprising.
They’re deliberately lying and leaving some of the truth out. They control what’s being said or printed I mean it’s NPR. Think of it as a “f u” to the survivors that know what really transpired.
There's no connections between these two cases. Other than hip hop.
Did you read the article? the part where they said it was no mystery why they didn't convict people earlier?
