--- Quote ---Karl Jordan Jr. was identified as the triggerman —and would have been around 18 when he shot Jay execution-style in the head — while suspect Ronald Washington is a violent robber who was just finishing up a more than 17-year prison term when nailed for the slaying, federal prosecutors said.

“It was all over drugs,’’ a former top investigator in the case told The Post on Monday.

Prosecutors submitted new court documents detailing the chilling moment Jay, 37, whose real name was Jason Mizell, was killed — and why.

“In addition to his music career, in or about and between 1996 and 2002, Mizell was involved in transporting kilogram-quantities of cocaine for retail sale in the Eastern District of New York and elsewhere,’’ the feds said in the papers.

“[In] July 2002, Mizell acquired approximately ten kilograms of cocaine on consignment from a supplier in the Midwest. The cocaine was intended to be distributed in Maryland by Washington, Jordan and other co-conspirators.
