Yella Beezy will spend the rest of his life in prison after a jury ties him to Mo3's highway killing
A Dallas jury convicted rapper Yella Beezy of capital murder for paying a gunman to kill Mo3 on Interstate 35. He was sentenced to life without parole.
Yella Beezy is never getting out of prison. A jury in Dallas found the rapper guilty of capital murder on Wednesday in the death of fellow rapper Mo3.
He got life behind bars with no chance of parole.
The verdict landed six years to the day after Mo3 was shot dead on Interstate 35 in November 2020.
The case against him
Beezy's real name is Markies Conway. Prosecutors told jurors the two rappers had been feuding for years. According to the state, Kewon White was the triggerman. He was allegedly promised $40,000 by Beezy.
White chased Mo3 onto the busy highway and started shooting. Mo3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble, was 28. A bystander was also hit.
Video from that day shows Mo3 climbing out of his car and running from the shooter in traffic. He was gunned down as he tried to get away.
The defense
Beezy's lawyers insisted he was innocent. They told the jury the state was leaning on guesswork instead of hard proof.
Jurors did not agree.
How it got here
Police arrested Beezy over the killing in March 2025. He bonded out later that same month.
A judge later turned down his bid to change the terms of his bond.
White was found guilty of capital murder back in September. He also got life without parole. Now Beezy will be joining him.
