Houston, US — Dallas-based rapper Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, has been arrested and charged with capital murder in the 2020 shooting death of fellow rapper Mo3, according to court records released this week. The 33-year-old was indicted by a Dallas County grand jury on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, on a charge of capital murder while remuneration, alleging he hired 26-year-old Kewon White to kill Mo3, born Melvin Noble.

The fatal incident occurred on November 11, 2020, on Interstate 35 in south Dallas. Authorities allege that White drove alongside Noble’s vehicle on the busy freeway, exited his car armed with a handgun, and opened fire. Noble, 28, attempted to flee on foot but was gunned down, while a bystander inside another vehicle was also shot but survived. Noble was pronounced dead at a hospital. The indictment does not specify a motive behind Conway’s alleged orchestration of the killing.
Court documents do not list an attorney for Conway, and attempts to reach his representatives by phone and email were not immediately successful. Following Conway’s arrest, Noble’s mother, Nichole Williams Noble, took to Facebook to express her relief, writing, “Justice for my baby!!!!”
White and another suspect, 32-year-old Devin Brown, were previously indicted in connection with Noble’s death, with their cases still pending. In a separate 2022 case, White received a nearly nine-year federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Yella Beezy rose to prominence with his 2017 hit “That’s On Me” and later collaborated with Quavo and Gucci Mane on the 2019 track “Bacc At It Again.” Conway himself survived a shooting in October 2018, when an assailant opened fire on his vehicle on a tollway in Lewisville, a Dallas suburb, striking him three times.
Mo3, a Dallas native, had cultivated a significant following, amassing over 800,000 Instagram followers by the time of his death. He gained recognition for his 2019 remix of “Errybody,” featuring Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz.
The capital murder charge carries the possibility of the death penalty or life imprisonment without parole in Texas. As of Friday, March 22, 2025, Conway remains in custody, with further details on his arraignment yet to be released. The case continues to unfold as authorities seek to clarify the circumstances surrounding the high-profile killing that shocked the Dallas rap community.
