Friday, November 13, 2026 - Dallas rapper Yella Beezy has been found guilty of capital murder in connection with the shocking 2020 killing of fellow rap artist Mo3, bringing a dramatic conclusion to a closely watched murder trial.
The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Markies Conway, was convicted by a Dallas County jury on November 11, 2026, exactly six years after Mo3 was fatally shot on a busy Dallas interstate. Mo3, born Melvin Noble, was just 28 years old when he was killed in the daylight attack. Following the verdict, the judge sentenced Beezy to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors argued that Beezy arranged the killing by hiring Kewon White and paying him $40,000 to murder Mo3 following an escalating feud between the two Dallas artists. According to evidence presented in court, White ambushed Mo3 on Interstate 35, forcing him out of his vehicle before shooting him multiple times as he attempted to escape.
White was separately convicted of capital murder in September 2026 and also received a life sentence without parole. However, Beezy's defence team challenged the prosecution's case, arguing that the evidence failed to establish his involvement beyond reasonable doubt. One key witness also caused controversy after admitting that he had fabricated parts of his earlier testimony.
The guilty verdict has brought renewed attention to Mo3's death and the devastating impact of violence within the music industry. The courtroom reportedly became emotional as the verdict was delivered, with Beezy's young son among those visibly affected. His defence attorney has announced plans to appeal the conviction, meaning further legal proceedings could follow.
Meanwhile, Mo3's family has spent six years seeking justice for the rapper, whose music continues to attract listeners. The case now stands as a major development in Dallas hip-hop, leaving fans reflecting on a rivalry that ended in tragedy and a legal battle that has finally produced a conviction.
