Yella Beezy Arrested: Dallas Rapper Charged with Capital Murder in Mo3's Death
Dallas-based rapper Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway, has been arrested and charged with capital murder in the 2020 death of fellow rapper Mo3 (Melvin Noble). This shocking development follows a grand jury indictment on March 18, 2025, alleging Conway hired Kewon Dontrell White to carry out the murder-for-hire on Interstate 35E.
The Allegations
Authorities allege Conway, 33, paid White to kill Mo3 on November 11, 2020. The ambush-style shooting, captured on traffic cameras, showed White, masked and armed, pursuing Mo3 after he fled his car. White is already serving a nine-year sentence for firearm charges related to the incident. Conway's arrest, on March 20th, follows the indictment and he is currently being held without bond in the Dallas County Jail.
Yella Beezy's Career and Past Legal Issues
Yella Beezy gained national recognition with his 2017 hit "That's On Me," which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. However, this isn't his first encounter with the law. Previous arrests involved gun and sexual assault charges. This capital murder charge, however, carries the potential for the death penalty.
The Larger Case
At least two other individuals, Devin Maurice Brown Jr. and Kewon Dontrell White, have also been indicted in connection with Mo3's death. Investigators reportedly used phone records and surveillance data to link the suspects to the scene.
Conclusion
The arrest of Yella Beezy marks a significant turning point in the investigation into Mo3's death. The case highlights the tragic consequences of violence within the music industry and underscores the ongoing legal proceedings. The details surrounding this high-profile case are still emerging, and further updates are expected.
