I haven’t been able to follow the case due to time constraints, so hearing the verdict was still very shocking. Life without parole sounds terrifying, even with the option to appeal.
Ironically, Beezy was convicted of murder on November 11, the very same date Mo3 was murdered in 2020.
There are reports that Yella Beezy passed out as he was being taken to jail after the verdict, according to WFAA.
CBS NewsTexas — Dallas rapper Yella Beezy has been found guilty of capital murder in the shooting death of rival artist Mo3.
Under Texas law, the conviction carries an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
His defense attorney said he plans to appeal.
Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, was accused of ordering the killing of Mo3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble, in November 2020. Kewon White, the gunman in the case, was convicted last month and sentenced to life in prison.
Here’s an alleged timeline of the events presented by the prosecutors which led to his conviction:
Nov. 11 Mo3 gunned down by Kewon White on interstate.
Nov. 20
- Yella Beezy returns to Dallas from California.
- Beezy picks up a bulletproof Denali.
- Beezy goes to Chase Bank and withdraws $40,000.
Nov. 21–22
- Beezy meets with Trapboy Freddy
- After the meeting, Beezy sends his home address to Jerry Johnson, whom prosecutors identify as the alleged middleman.
- Johnson allegedly goes to Beezy’s home and picks up the payment.
- Johnson then allegedly meets Kewon White at the trap house and gives him $20,000.
Nov. 22
- Beezy leaves Dallas and heads to the airport, returning to California.
- Prosecutors say White puts a down payment on a GRC chain.
Nov. 23
- White is arrested with nearly $10,000 in cash.
- During a jail call, White says he has $20,000.
Dec. 9
- White is arrested and interrogated about Mo3’s murder.
•During questioning, White voluntarily names Yella Beezy and Trapboy Freddy when asked about Devin Brown - Detective Eric Barnes testified that when White was asked why they had beef, White said it was because Mo3 rapped about shooting them.
The State’s timeline connected the alleged $40,000 withdrawal, alleged cash handoff, White’s possession and spending of money, and his later statements about Beezy and Freddy as pieces of its murder-for-hire theory.
