Dallas rapper Yella Beezy charged with hiring hitman to kill fellow rapper Mo3

DALLAS – A Dallas rapper was arrested for allegedly hiring a hitman to kill a fellow rapper in 2020.

What we know:

Markies Conway, also known as Yella Beezy, was formally indicted by a Dallas County grand jury on Tuesday, for the murder of Melvin Noble, known as Mo3, in November 2020, according to court documents obtained by FOX 4.

Investigators say Conway hired Kewon Dontrell White to kill Noble.

Conway was arrested on Thursday on the charge of capital murder while remuneration.

The backstory:

Noble was killed on Nov. 11, 2020, in an ambush-style shooting in the middle of the day on I-35 in Dallas.

Investigators say Noble was in his car on the interstate when White, while wearing a ski mask and holding a gun, approached his car.

Police say Noble got out of his car and started running away when 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.
