Yella Beezy Sentenced to Life in Prison for Hiring Gunman Who Killed MO3

American rapper Yella Beezy has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after a Dallas County jury found him guilty of capital murder in connection with the 2020 killing of fellow rapper MO3.

Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, was convicted on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. Prosecutors accused him of paying a gunman to carry out the killing of MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble.

According to prosecutors, Conway paid Kewon White $40,000 to kill Noble following a long-running feud between the two Dallas-based rappers.

White was convicted of capital murder in September 2026 and also received a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

How MO3 Was Killed

The shooting happened around noon on November 11, 2020, on Interstate 35 in south Dallas.

Authorities said White pulled alongside Noble’s vehicle before getting out with a gun. Noble reportedly left his car and attempted to escape on foot as the gunman chased and shot at him.

Prosecutor Tommy Adams said the attacker wore a mask and fired more than 40 rounds from an AK-47-style pistol.

Noble and a bystander inside another vehicle were shot. While the bystander survived, Noble later died at a hospital. He was 28.

Prosecutors Link Killing to Long-Running Feud

During the trial, prosecutors presented a video in which Conway discussed revenge and said he would “get his lick back”.

Prosecutor Krystal Biggins also linked the killing to a 2018 shooting involving Conway, who survived after being shot three times while driving on a tollway in Lewisville, Texas.

“This was for the world to see,” Biggins told the jury, arguing that the killing was connected to a dispute between the rappers.

However, the defence disputed the prosecution’s case. Defence attorney John Gussio argued that prosecutors had relied on speculation and failed to prove the allegations against his client.

Following the verdict, lead prosecutor Tommy Adams welcomed the jury’s decision, describing the case as one of the most challenging matters handled by his team in six years.

Who Were MO3 and Yella Beezy?

MO3 was known for his 2019 remix of Errybody, which featured Louisiana rapper Boosie Badazz. The late rapper had more than 800,000 Instagram followers.

Meanwhile, Yella Beezy gained recognition with his 2017 single That’s On Me. He also released Bacc At It Again in 2019 alongside Quavo and Gucci Mane.

The life sentences handed to Conway and White mean neither man will be eligible for parole over their roles in the murder case.
