Dallas Rap Feud Explodes: Yella Beezy Faces 2026 Murder-for-Hire Trial in Shocking Mo3 Killing

By Crime Desk January 14, 2026

The hip-hop world is on edge as Dallas rapper Yella Beezy (real name Markies Conway) gears up for a high-stakes February 2, 2026, trial on capital murder charges tied to the 2020 ambush slaying of fellow artist Mo3 (Melvin Noble). After his March 2025 arrest for allegedly hiring a hitman in a cold-blooded murder-for-hire plot, Beezy was released on a reduced $750,000 bond and placed under strict house arrest—his freedom now hanging by a thread as prosecutors unleash a staggering 16 terabytes of digital evidence.

The case stems from a bitter rivalry that turned deadly. On November 11, 2020, Mo3 was gunned down in broad daylight on Interstate 35 in Dallas during a drive-by shooting. Authorities claim Beezy orchestrated the hit, paying Kewon White to pull the trigger amid escalating beef between the two rising stars. Mo3, known for his raw lyrics and breakout tracks, died at just 28, leaving behind a grieving family and a devoted fanbase that mourned the loss of a talent on the cusp of stardom.

Beezy, once a promising figure in the Dallas rap scene with hits and collaborations, now faces life in prison—or even the death penalty—if convicted of capital murder while remuneration. The indictment alleges he intentionally arranged the killing, with phone records, messages, financial trails, and surveillance footage forming the backbone of the state’s case. Prosecutors describe a mountain of data—over 16,000 gigabytes, including recent dumps in late 2025—that Beezy’s defense calls overwhelming and potentially irrelevant, arguing it could confuse jurors rather than prove guilt.
