?Run-D.M.C. is officially retired,? Joseph Simmons said today at a news conference in New York. ?”We can’t perform anymore. I can’t find a way to do it without three members.”

This comes a week after DJ Jam Master Jay, real name Jason Mizell, was shot and killed. Police still have no motives or suspects.

P. Diddy, Busta Rhymes, Chuck D, Russell Simmons, the Beastie Boys, Doug E. Fresh, Foxy Brown and Ed Lover gathered at the conference to show their support for Mizell?s family and their ?hip hop family.?

The Mizell family has said donations can be made to the Mizell Children’s Fund, c/o Terri Corley-Mizell, P.O. Box 3497, New Hyde Park, NY 11040.
