Rapper Yella Beezy convicted of hiring gunman who fatally shot rapper MO3 on busy Dallas interstate
Jurors found Markies Conway guilty after an 11-day trial that centered on prosecutors’ claim he arranged a $40,000 murder-for-hire plot.
- On Wednesday, a Dallas County jury convicted rapper Yella Beezy, legally Markies Conway, of capital murder in the 2020 killing of rival rapper Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble.
- Prosecutors argued Conway orchestrated the shooting as part of a long-running feud between the two artists, alleging he paid gunman Kewon White $40,000 to carry out the murder.
- Evidence presented showed White wore a mask and fired over 40 rounds from an AK-47-style pistol on Interstate 35, killing Noble while a bystander survived the November 2020 attack.
- Following the guilty verdict, Conway received a life sentence without the possibility of parole, joining gunman White, who was previously convicted and sentenced to life for his role.
- Another defendant, Devin Brown, is scheduled to stand trial later this year for his alleged connection to the murder plot, keeping the case active.
