| The look on Yella Beezy's face shows he knows his life and career are over. He is charged in the death of MO3. |
Tehxas!
His friends snitched on him.
"Pursuant to said agreement, Kewon White did then and there intentionally and knowingly cause the death of (Noble) by shooting (him) with (a) firearm," the indictment reads.
Gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.
Melvin Noble, Jr. (known as MO3) was shot and killed on November 11, 2020, at the age of 28. While driving on Interstate 35 in Dallas, Noble was pursued by another vehicle leading him to stop his car in the center lane of the highway. Kewon Dontrell White would also stop his car and approach Noble’s vehicle. Noble tried to retrieve a weapon but was unsuccessful and attempted to escape on foot. White chased Noble and shot him multiple times with a rifle before fleeing in his dark colored vehicle, believed to be a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Noble was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Two suspects were arrested for his murder: the gunman Kewon Dontrell White on December 9, 2020, and Devin Maurice Brown on April 23, 2021.
On March 20, 2025, Markies Conway aka Yella Beezy was arrested by Dallas County Texas in connection with felony capital murder-for-hire charges of MO3 in the State of Texas vs. Conway, Markies (Case #F-25-00154).
Murder-for-hire is a capital murder charge. It carries LIFE or DEATH if convicted.
The suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
The 33-year-old emcee was apprehended by authorities and booked into the Dallas County Jail Thursday afternoon after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to jail and court records obtained by USA TODAY.
The arrest came two days after Beezy was charged with felony murder by a grand jury in the death of MO3, who was shot and killed during a midday shooting on a Dallas highway.
USA TODAY reached out to the Dallas County Sheriff's Department and Beezy's representative for comment.
The jury indicted Beezy on Tuesday on a charge of "capital murder while remuneration," alleging the Texas-born rapper "intentionally and knowingly" took part in the death of MO3 by hiring Kewon White to kill him for payment and the "promise of remuneration," according to a copy of the indictment.

| Justice comes nearly five years after MO3's death. |
"Pursuant to said agreement, Kewon White did then and there intentionally and knowingly cause the death of (Noble) by shooting (him) with (a) firearm," the indictment reads.
White was reportedly arrested a month after MO3's death and is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for firearm charges related to the shooting, according to Dallas outlets KDFW and WFAA.
Beezy launched his music career as a teen when the aspiring rapper started releasing his own mixtapes.
His breakthrough came on the 2017 mixtape "Lite Work, Vol. 2," which featured the song "That's On Me." The trap track reportedly peaked at No. 25 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as well as cracked the Hot 100 chart at No. 56. A star-studded 2018 remix featured appearances from 2 Chainz, T.I., Rich the Kid, Jeezy, Boosie Badazz and Trapboy Freddie.
In recent years, Beezy has collaborated with top names in hip-hop such as Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, Young Thug and Gunna.
Beezy's last album, "Bad Azz Yella Boy," was released in August 2022.
The police told USA TODAY that the shooting suspect — described as an adult Black male — exited his stopped dark sedan armed with a firearm and approached MO3, who exited his stationary car and began running southbound on the highway.
The suspect — now identified as White — chased MO3, firing multiple shots and striking him. The rapper was transported to an area hospital where he died from his injuries, according to a police report obtained by USA TODAY at the time. MO3 was 28 years old.
White also struck an innocent bystander, an adult male, who was sitting in a separate car. The second victim was also transported to an area hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
These murderers don't have mental illness. They are calculated and prepared. It happened to be a moment where they have the opportunity to take out lives.
There's no sickness in the head. Most mass shooters legally obtain their assault rifles without little background checks. They have likely no criminal history and they are willing to use the assault weapon in the only thing it's good for: Killing numerous lives.
I dismiss this ridiculous notion that criminals are the problem, not the guns.
Firearms are often obtained through legal purchases.
Again, having more security, teachers being armed and offering safe rooms are not solving the problem. The problem is lawmakers not willing to stop gun violence.
According to the far right: White shooters are mentally ill. Black shooters are unrepentant thugs and criminals. Gay shooters are active groomers. Muslim shooters are terrorists. Hispanic and Asian shooters are illegal immigrants. According to the far right, almost all white [or non-white] mass shooters are registered Democrats [or some progressive activist] because they have liked or done one thing common to the left. Of course, they often share or post disinformation by using the "Sam Hyde" meme or make bogus social media platforms with the shooter's image as a way to denounce most mass shooters being white or associated with conservative causes. The far right says a white person should "protect" themselves from thugs, terrorists or protesters. They believe the use of firearms are "justified" if they are protesting or even instigating a conflict. The far right believes if a shooter is a police officer, an active military member, a veteran or a citizen who supports conservative causes, they are considered a "heroes" and use of firearms are justified. If the shooters are teens in urban communities, the far right automatically assumes the gunmen are Black.
The Republicans usually amplify white victims. Anytime a person of color kills a white victim, it is often wall-to-wall coverage on Fox, Twitter and they force it into national news. They make the case to blame Black Lives Matter, Barack Obama, Kamala Harris, Democrats, Rev. Al Sharpton and rap music for Black on whatever violence. Republican legislators who do not live in urban neighborhoods often troll social media to talk about gun violence or crime in Chicago, Baltimore, Milwaukee and New York City while not doing a damn thing to stop it. If a white person shoots a Black person, the shooter is given the benefit of doubt. White shooters are given glowing profiles about their perfect lives and how friends noticed something but refused to do something. When it comes to Black shooters, automatic vilification. They don't see mental illness. They see it as gang violence, allegedly fatherless homes, Democratic policies or the need for more firearms.
The far right and Republicans exploit gun violence in the Black community for culture wars and racism.
The website Officer Down is a memorial to those police officers who were killed in the line of duty. Those victims who don't get their names or accomplishments mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence. We are tracking police violence and school shootings as well.

The call number to the White House and US Capitol is now going to be used. This is the official White House numbers 202-456-1111 and 202-456-1414. This is the Congress official phone number, 202-224-3121. Please be respectful to operators, staff members and elected leaders. Your calls are monitored by the US Secret Service and US Capitol Police.
Let them know that "thoughts and prayers," "hearts going to" and "good guys with guns" are no longer acceptable and you want legislation to curb gun violence. Let them know that we are tired of police officers using immunity when committing death of suspects in custody. Let them know that you are tired of private equity firms getting away with destroying small businesses and long established companies. Let them know that you are tired of your taxpayer money going to foreign nations like Israel. You are tired of hearing about "Israel having a right to..." and the bogus claims of being anti-Semitic or in support of terrorism.
We have bigger issues at home and our tax dollars should solve the housing crisis, lowering food prices, fixing roads, bridges, helping reinvest in struggling urban and rural communities. We have hospitals closing, big box retailers leaving communities and television programs dying. There are bigger issues in the country than Israel. You want an immediate ceasefire and accountability for war crimes done by Israel. You want no more foreign influence in American elections. You also want to make sure future presidents and legislators avoid influence from lobbyists.
