In a stunning twist to a case that has haunted the Dallas music scene since 2020, rapper Yella Beezy (real name Markies Deandre Conway) has been indicted for capital murder in connection with the freeway execution-style killing of fellow rapper Mo3.
A Dallas County grand jury returned the indictment earlier this week, alleging that Conway orchestrated the murder of Melvin Noble (Mo3) “while remuneration was involved” – legal language indicating that Beezy paid someone to carry out the killing.
Mo3 was gunned down in broad daylight on November 11, 2020, on Interstate 35E. The killing unfolded like a scene from a movie: Noble exited his car, attempted to flee on foot, and was chased and fatally shot. The incident was caught on traffic surveillance cameras and circulated widely, sparking outrage and grief across the hip-hop world.
This latest indictment adds to an already complex legal saga. Two other men, Kewon Dontrell White and Devin Maurice Brown, were previously indicted.
- White was arrested shortly after the shooting and was found in possession of a 9mm pistol after fleeing from police.
- Brown, picked up in Limestone County, was slapped with federal drug and weapons charges after police found a stolen AK-47, drugs, and large amounts of cash in his home.
Investigators have reportedly pieced together the conspiracy using phone records, GPS data, and surveillance footage, placing all suspects in proximity to Mo3’s final location in the hours leading up to the hit.
Conway, better known as Yella Beezy, rose to national prominence in 2017 with his breakout hit “That’s On Me,” which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped catapult him to fame.
However, the rapper’s image has been marred in recent years by legal issues, including prior arrests for weapons and sexual assault – though some charges were eventually dropped. This murder indictment marks the most serious accusation to date.
As of Thursday night, Conway remains behind bars at Dallas County Jail with no bond set. Prosecutors have not commented on whether they will seek the death penalty.
The capital murder charge suggests authorities believe Beezy played a direct role in funding and planning the hit. If convicted, he faces life in prison or capital punishment.
The Dallas hip-hop community, already rocked by Mo3’s brutal death, now finds itself confronting the idea that one of its own may have orchestrated the tragedy.
Social media has erupted in reaction:
“If this is true, Yella Beezy just threw it all away.”
“Mo3 deserved better.”
“Dallas rap will never be the same.”
As the case unfolds, fans of both artists are left reeling, wondering how deep this story really goes.
