A Dallas rapper was arrested Thursday for allegedly ordering the killing of another rapper in 2020.
Markies Conway, who also goes by Yella Beezy, was indicted by a Dallas County grand jury Tuesday in connection to the murder of 28-year-old Melvin Noble, who was also known as MO3.
Court documents say Conway, 33, hired Kewon Dontrell White to kill Noble, who was fatally shot in broad daylight on Interstate 35E on Nov. 11, 2020.
Conway was booked into Dallas County jail Thursday afternoon, but his bond amount has yet to be set, online records show.

Prior to Conway’s charge, White was already indicted in 2021 on a murder charge in connection with Noble’s killing.
A year later, White pleaded guilty to a felony charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and sentenced to almost 9 years in federal prison.
