A Dallas County jury found Yella Beezy guilty of capital murder on Wednesday, and the date is the part nobody in that courtroom missed. Mo3 was killed on November 11, 2020. The verdict came down on November 11, 2026, six years to the day later.
Prosecutors told the jury that Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, paid Kewon White $40,000 to kill Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble. After 11 days of testimony, the jury sided with the state. Judge Chika Anyiam read the verdict out loud.
“We, the jury, unanimously find the defendant, Markies Conway, guilty of capital murder.”
Because prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, the conviction carries an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Conway pleaded not guilty and denied any involvement, and his team can still appeal.
Mo3 was shot in broad daylight on Interstate 35E in Dallas while being chased on foot through traffic. White, the gunman, was convicted of capital murder in September and is already serving life without parole. A third man, Devin Brown, is also charged in connection with the killing. The two Dallas rappers had been feuding since 2017.
