Yella Beezy Found Guilty of Capital Murder in Killing of Dallas Rapper MO3

DALLAS, Texas (TXAN 24) — Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, has been found guilty of capital murder in connection with the 2020 killing of fellow Dallas rapper Melvin Noble, known professionally as MO3.

The verdict follows a closely watched trial in Dallas County that centered on allegations of a murder-for-hire plot stemming from a longstanding feud between the two artists.

Prosecutors alleged Conway arranged for Kewon White to carry out the November 11, 2020, shooting that killed Noble on Interstate 35 in Dallas. White was previously convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison.

Throughout the trial, prosecutors presented financial records, phone communications and witness testimony that they argued connected Conway to the killing.

The defense challenged the prosecution’s case, questioned the credibility of key witnesses and maintained that investigators had failed to establish Conway’s involvement beyond a reasonable doubt.

The guilty verdict marks a major development in a case that has remained closely followed by Dallas’ hip-hop community and the broader music industry.
