The indictment did not provide information on why authorities believe Conway hired White to shoot Noble, who also lived in Dallas.
Court records did not list an attorney who could speak on behalf of Conway. Calls and emails to representatives for Conway were not immediately returned.
In a Facebook post after Conway's arrest, Noble's mother, Nichole Williams Noble wrote, 'Justice for my baby!!!!'
The 28-year-old Noble was driving on Interstate 35 in south Dallas on Nov. 11, 2020, when authorities allege White drove up next to him and got out of his vehicle with a gun in his hand. Noble got out of his vehicle and began running south on the freeway as White shot at him, authorities said. Noble and a bystander who was inside a car were shot by White, police said. The bystander survived but Noble died at a hospital.
White and another man, Devin Brown, 32, were later indicted in Noble's death. Their cases related to Noble's death remain pending. White, 26, was sentenced in 2022 in a separate case to nearly nine years in federal prison after pleading guilty to a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Conway is best known for his 2017 single, 'That's On Me' and the 2019 song 'Bacc At It Again' with Quavo and Gucci Mane.
In October 2018, Conway survived being shot while driving on a tollway in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville when someone pulled up next to him and opened fire, hitting him three times.
Noble had more than 800,000 followers on his Instagram page and was best known for a 2019 remix of the song 'Errybody,' with Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rapper Boosie Badazz.

Ariana Grande is only a few months removed from re-releasing her album Eternal Sunshine as a deluxe edition titled Brighter Days Ahead, which includes several new cuts — among them her latest single, 'Twilight Zone.' While that tune continues to connect with listeners in the United States, a trio of Grande's hits are climbing on Billboard's two global rankings. Ariana Grande Claims Four Global Hits Grande currently occupies three spaces on both the Billboard Global 200 and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, with two-thirds of those smashes coming from her working relationship with frequent collaborator The Weeknd. Her biggest worldwide success at the moment, 'Save Your Tears' with The Weeknd, rises from No. 86 to No. 73 on the Billboard Global 200. On the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it jumps 16 spots to No. 60. Another joint hit with The Weeknd, 'Die for You,' is also on the move. On the Billboard Global 200, it surges more than 20 spots, while on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, it creeps up three spaces. The track began as a solo single for The Weeknd before receiving a lift from Grande's remix. 'We Can't Be Friends' Continues to Climb Grande's own 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' is also rising. Last frame, it sat at No. 196 on both global tallies. It now improves to No. 180 on the Billboard Global 200 and No. 181 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. Ariana Grande's Global No. 1s Both 'Save Your Tears' and 'We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)' have ruled the Billboard Global 200, with the latter also topping the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. 'Die for You' previously reached the top three on both lists.

'Twilight Zone' Keeps Rising In the U.S., 'Twilight Zone' continues its upward trajectory. The track hits a new peak of No. 21 on Billboard's Radio Songs chart and returns to its high point of No. 5 on the Pop Airplay list. The catchy, low-key pop tune holds steady at No. 29 on the Adult Pop Airplay ranking, dips slightly from No. 20 to No. 21 on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, and climbs on the Hot 100 from No. 81 to No. 70.

Chad Michael Murray reveals near-death health scare that led to blood transfusion, 2-month hospitalization
Chad Michael Murray almost didn't make it to Hollywood. The 'Freakier Friday' actor, 43, revealed he suffered a near-death experience at age 15 that involved an emergency blood transfusion and a lengthy hospital stay. Opening up about the terrifying health scare, Murray — who got his big break as heartthrob Lucas Scott in 'One Tree Hill' — shared that his intestines 'had twisted' when he was just a teen. 9 Chad Michael Murray at the UK premiere of 'Freaky Friday' in London. Brett D. Cove / 9 Chad Michael Murray arrives at the annual TV Guide Awards. Corbis via Getty Images 'I was hospitalized for two and a half months. It was a lot,' he recalled on the Friday, August 8, episode of the 'Great Company' podcast. 'We had surgery. I had internal bleeding, [and] I lost 50 percent of my blood. I was on my deathbed,' the actor explained, adding he was 'in and out of consciousness' and doesn't have many memories from that time. 'I just remember seeing my father, the weakest I'd ever seen him, and a priest at the end of my bed,' Murray said. 'They're talking about last rites and all that stuff, and [the nurse] gave me a blood transfusion to save my life. It saved my life.' 9 One of Chad Michael Murray's headshots from his earlier acting days. Corbis via Getty Images 9 Chad Michael Murray played teen heartthrob Lucas Scott in 'One Tree Hill.'

'Regardless, you're in there for two months and, you know, my organs shut down because you have blood all coagulated around them, and they had to wait till everything. So, anyway, I had to have a second surgery to clean everything up,' he stated. He also disclosed that his two nurses, Sandy and Alana, inspired him to pursue his Hollywood dreams. 9 Chad Michael Murray takes a selfie. chadmichaelmurray/Instagram 'Alana says to me, 'Oh gosh, you should model,'' he reminisced. 'I was like, 'I don't want to model. I want to be an actor. Like, I love film and television. I want to give this gift to other people.' She's like, 'Well, you can segue from modeling into acting. Look, when you get out, I'm hooking you up with a modeling company I know.' And she meant it.' Murray said he hardly recognized himself after the scary ordeal. 'I got out. I went from, like, 180 to 118 pounds. I was a skeleton when I got out,' he said of being discharged from the monthslong hospital stay. 'It was the scariest thing ever. I remember looking in the mirror the first time going, 'Who is that?' I cried [and] I couldn't believe that I was looking back at that guy.' 9 Chad Michael Murray said his nurses pushed him to pursue his dreams of going to Hollywood.

Corbis via Getty Images That experience, though, strengthened his bond with his father. 'I started my relationship with God, and my relationship with my father became really close,' Murray recalled. 'My dad [was] raising five kids on his own [and] came to the hospital every single day, and he spent countless nights with me when he had four more kids at home.' 'The man is tough as nails, and he did that for us. I'm overly, like, beyond grateful. That's when our relationship really bonded,' he added. 9 Lindsay Lohan, left, and Chad Michael Murray in a scene from 'Freakier Friday.' AP 9 Chad Michael Murray as Jake in 'Freakier Friday.' Glen Wilson Years after his near-death health scare, Murray's career skyrocketed. He starred in the CW's 'One Tree Hill' from the pilot in 2003 to 2009, departing from the popular teen drama after Season 6 over an alleged contract negotiation dispute. Murray later returned to the series for one episode of the final season in 2012. The star's other major role included starring alongside Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan as the latter's interest, Jake, in 'Freaky Friday' (2003). Murray reprised his role as the hunky bad boy for the film's sequel, 'Freakier Friday,' out in theaters now. The Post's movie critic Johnny Oleksinski gave the follow-up film a two-and-a-half out of four stars rating, noting that while the sequel was a decent comeback for Lohan, Murray's appearance 'was shoved in like a book under a wobbly table.'
