Yella Beezy Capital Murder Case
Yella Beezy arrested for allegedly hiring Mo3's hitman
Dallas rapper Markies Conway, who goes by the name Yella Beezy, was arrested and charged in a murder-for-hire scheme connected to the death of another rapper. Melvin Noble, who went by Mo3, was killed in an ambush-style shooting on I-35 in Dallas in 2020.
The backstory:
Conway was arrested after being indicted by a Dallas County grand jury and arrested on March 20. He’s now charged with capital murder while remuneration, which is the legal charge for murder for hire.
Police believe he hired a hitman to carry out the murder of Melvin Noble, also known as Mo3.
Noble was gunned down in broad daylight in the middle of Interstate 35 in November of 2020.
Investigators said Noble was in his car on the interstate when Kewon Dontrell White, while wearing a ski mask and holding a gun, approached his car.
Noble got out of his car and started running away. White shot him in the back several times.
White was arrested a month later and charged with murder. He’s currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for firearm charges connected to the shooting.
