Yella Beezy Reportedly Arrested & Charged With Hiring Hitman to Kill MO3
Curious about why Dallas rapper Yella Beezy is back in the headlines? The recent capital murder charge against him has reignited public attention surrounding the 2020 killing of fellow rapper Mo3. Authorities allege Beezy orchestrated a murder-for-hire plot that led to the fatal highway shooting in broad daylight.
Let's take a closer look at the case details, who was involved, and how investigators connected the dots leading to this major indictment.
Dallas police arrested rapper Markies Deandre Conway, known as Yella Beezy, and charged him with capital murder in connection to the 2020 killing of rapper Melvin Noble, known as Mo3.
A Dallas County grand jury indicted Conway on March 18, 2025, alleging he intentionally and knowingly hired a gunman to commit the shooting 'while remuneration was involved.' (via NBCDFW)
On November 11, 2020, a masked gunman shot and killed Mo3 in broad daylight on Interstate 35E in Dallas. Police reported that Mo3 exited his car and ran on foot before the gunman chased and shot him multiple times. Traffic cameras captured the incident, and footage quickly circulated.
According to the indictment, Conway hired Kewon Dontrell White to carry out the killing. '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 states, per USA Today. Authorities arrested White a month after the shooting, and he is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for gun charges.
A grand jury indicted a second man, Devin Maurice Brown, in connection with the killing. Investigators used phone records and surveillance data to place both suspects near the murder scene before the shooting. Federal authorities later indicted Brown on drug and weapons charges after they found a stolen AK-47, drugs, and cash in his home.
Officers took Yella Beezy into custody and booked him into the Dallas County Jail on March 20, 2025. Officials have not set his bond. The capital murder charge makes him eligible for the death penalty.
In 2021, police arrested Beezy on unrelated charges, including unlawful possession of a firearm and sexual assault stemming from a separate incident.

Macklemore's home robbed with children inside, nanny doused with bear spray, police say
Macklemore's home robbed with children inside, nanny doused with bear spray, police say Show Caption Hide Caption Macklemore responds to backlash, calls for unity Macklemore responds to condemnation and being dropped from festivals after denouncing America at a Seattle Palestinian festival Fox - Seattle Macklemore's home in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle was the site of a home invasion as his nanny was maced with bear spray and his three children were present, according to law enforcement. A police report from June 7 shared with USA TODAY said shortly before 1 a.m., a nanny for three kids was sprayed with bear mace before leading two suspects to a master bedroom where they rummaged through drawers, cabinets, and "raided" a closet full of clothing, jewelry and shoes. The mostly redacted police report features the unredacted last name Davis, the legal name of Macklemore's wife, Tricia Davis, and refers to a homeowner as a "high-profile individual." Macklemore and Davis share three children: Sloane, Colette and Hugo. Macklemore clarifies remark made at pro-Palestine concert in Seattle: 'Sometimes I slip up' The report does not state if Macklemore, whose legal name is Benjamin Haggerty, was home at the time. The police report also said the nanny "believed the crime may have been politically motivated for some reason." In recent months, Macklemore has made headlines for pro-Palestine posts and was removed from a Las Vegas festival performance lineup for the inaugural Neon City Festival in Las Vegas after he referred to America with an expletive during the 'Palestine Will Live Forever' event in his hometown of Seattle.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia charged with migrant smuggling after return from El Salvador
Kilmar Abrego Garcia charged with migrant smuggling after return from El Salvador On Saturday's episode of The Excerpt podcast: Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the U.S. He now faces human trafficking charges. USA TODAY White House Correspondent Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy discusses some of the concerns from LGBTQ+ advocates this Pride Month over Trump administration actions. The Supreme Court blocks the disclosure of DOGE operations. Plus, the court lets DOGE access Social Security data. USA TODAY White House Correspondent Francesca Chambers talks about new Trump executive orders centered on flying cars and high speed air travel.

Podcasts: True crime, in-depth interviews and more USA TODAY podcasts right here Taylor Wilson: Good morning. I'm Taylor Wilson, and today is Saturday, June 7th, 2025. This is The Excerpt. Today the latest on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return to the country and the charges he faces. Plus, how advocates call out the Trump administration over some of its moves ahead of Pride Month, and new executive orders have to do with the future of flying cars. ♦ Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been returned to the US. The man mistakenly deported from Maryland to El Salvador by the Trump administration will now face criminal charges of transporting illegal immigrants within the US. Pam Bondi: The grand jury found that over the past nine years, Abrego Garcia has played a significant role in an alien smuggling ring. Taylor Wilson: That's Attorney General Pam Bondi. If convicted, Abrego Garcia would be deported to El Salvador after serving his sentence, according to Bondi. The Trump administration has said Abrego Garcia was a member of the MS-13 gang, which his lawyers deny. Trump said the Justice Department made a decision "to bring him back, show everybody how horrible this guy is." Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele said on social media he sent Abrego Garcia to the US at the Trump administration's request. His explanation came after the administration spent weeks telling judges it could not compel Abrego Garcia's return. His attorney, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, said the government disappeared Kilmar to a foreign prison in violation of a court order. He said that now, after months of delay and secrecy, they're bringing him back not to correct their error but to prosecute him. You can read more with the link in today's show notes. ♦ With Pride Month in full swing, LGBTQ+ advocates see some of President Trump's actions as bullying. I spoke with USA TODAY White House correspondent Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy for more. Swapna, always a pleasure having you stop by. How are you today? Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: Very good. Thank you, Taylor, for having me. Taylor Wilson: This is Pride Month, but the Education Department has billed it Title IX Month. Why are advocates upset about this? Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: So on his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to recognize only two genders: male and female. So earlier this month, the education department announced that it was recognizing June as a Title IX month to mark the 53rd anniversary of it becoming a law. Title IX prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational setting that receives federal funding. So now the Biden administration rule, which extended existing protections on the basis of sex to include gender identity, is seen as failing to protect women, which they say was the true purpose of Title IX. Taylor Wilson: Advocates are concerned about a number of other Trump actions during Pride Month. Let's talk about this move to take away Harvey Milk's name from a Navy ship. Just remind us, Swapna, who Harvey Milk was and how the administration is handling this. Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: So Harvey Milk was one of the first openly gay elected officials in the US, having won a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. He was a civil rights activist and also a Navy veteran who was pushed out of the Navy in the mid-1950s due to his sexual orientation. So earlier this month, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth directed the US Navy to rename an oil tanker that was named after him. A Pentagon spokesperson told USA TODAY that Hegseth just wants all the names on Department of Defense assets to reflect the president's priorities. Taylor Wilson: We know gender-affirming care has been in and out of the news for years. What is the FBI doing as it pertains to looking for tipsters on this front? Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: So earlier this month, the FBI posted on X asking people for tips on providers who offer gender-affirming care to minors. They asked for tips on hospitals, clinics, practitioners performing these surgical procedures on children. This, of course, reflects Trump's January executive order, which directs federal agencies to take action against hospitals that continue to provide such care, including puberty blockers and hormone therapy. And so, the executive order, in fact, characterized this kind of gender-affirming care as chemical and surgical mutilation. Taylor Wilson: Is Trump an outlier with his approach here, Swapna? How does he compare historically on Pride issues? Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: So the federal government first honored Pride Month on the 30th anniversary of Stonewall in 1999. This was under President Bill Clinton. And so, following that, the next two Democratic administrations, which included President Barack Obama and President Biden, they continue doing this, recognizing June as Pride Month. But when you look at the Republican administrations of Presidents George W. Bush or the first term of President Trump, they did not recognize June as Pride Month. So it's basically been along party line so far. Taylor Wilson: All right. Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy covers the White House for USA TODAY. Thanks, Swapna. Swapna Venugopal Ramaswamy: Thank you, Taylor. ♦ Taylor Wilson: The Department of Government Efficiency does not have to turn over records and answer questions about its operations for now. That's what the Supreme Court said yesterday, intervening in a dispute between the Trump administration and a watchdog group over DOGE's role in slashing federal jobs and remaking the federal government. In a brief unsigned order, the majority said separation of powers concerns council, judicial deference, and restraint when directing the executive branch to hand over internal communications. ♦ President Trump's newest executive orders aim to speed the development of new-age technology, including high-speed flights and flying cars. My colleague Dana Taylor spoke with USA TODAY White House correspondent Francesca Chambers to learn more. Dana Taylor: Francesca, thanks for hopping on. Francesca Chambers: Thanks so much for having me. Dana Taylor: As part of President Trump's move here, he directed the FAA to allow manufacturers to begin testing flying cars. Let's start with that headline-grabbing decision. Francesca Chambers: Yeah, so I wouldn't necessarily expect that you're going to be able to get a flying car anytime soon. They'll still be quite expensive. However, this is something that the administration says that they're doing to try and speed that up and accelerate that timeline. The administration's saying on a call with reporters that they're very concerned that the United States, that once it had been a leader in aviation, is falling behind. Dana Taylor: He also directed the FAA to tackle commercial operations that retailers like Amazon have said are crucial to scaling drone deliveries and also for delivering medical supplies in hard to reach places. How else did he approach drones in this order? Francesca Chambers: In a series of executive orders that looked at those drone deliveries, as well as things like hypersonic flight, the president also established a task force that is set to review and propose solutions to threats to America's airspace from personal unmanned aircraft. He also asked his administration to step up enforcement of civil and criminal laws against drone operators. Now that could be drone operators who endanger the public or violate airspace restrictions. The administration said that this was coming in response to those drone sightings that took place over New Jersey, but also as it starts to look ahead to the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2028 Summer Olympics. Dana Taylor: Meanwhile, he removed regulatory barriers, his administration says, or preventing high-speed passenger flights from being introduced in the country. A generation after the last Concorde flights, could similar rapid air travel make a return? Francesca Chambers: This is one of the parts of the executive order that had been most anticipated, because the ability to have overland supersonic flights, which the administration now says are sustainable and commercially viable, but federal regulations had grounded prior to this, were weakening the United States companies' competitiveness. But it's also something that they say that average Americans should care about, because if this were to be further developed, Americans could fly from places like New York to Los Angeles in potentially under four hours. Dana Taylor: Another order deals with supersonic technology instructing the FAA to establish a standard for noise certification. What should listeners know here? Francesca Chambers: Well, this goes back to the supersonic flights. That is something that has been standing in the way, the administration and the industry says, to Americans being able to have these high-speed flights that would go across the United States. So it isn't just the fact that they were banned, it had to do with sound restrictions as well that the administration now says that it will be lifting. Dana Taylor: Francesca Chambers is a White House correspondent for USA TODAY. Thank you for joining me, Francesca. Francesca Chambers: Thanks so much. ♦ Taylor Wilson: Non-alcoholic beer is on track to become the world's second largest beer category. Beverage industry analysis firm IWSR found non-alcoholic beer volume jumped 9% last year, and it ranked number three by making up 2% of global volume, outranking wheat beers and stouts. The beer faces a big gap, though, below lagers, which is by far the largest beer category at 92% of global volume. Still, non-alcoholic beer sales have been on the upward trend since 2018, according to the analysis firm. Between 2019 and 2024, non-alcoholic beer volume in the US grew 175%, moving the country's ranking from the category sixth largest market to third largest. Experts pointed to waning alcohol sales and growing health concerns as major drivers. Former Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy in January released an advisory warning of the direct link between alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk. That same month, advertising and sales measurement technology firm NCSolutions released a survey that found 49% of Americans plan to drink less in 2025, up from 41% in 2024. You can take a closer look at some of this trend data and what folks around the industry are saying with a link in today's show notes. ♦ Coming up on Sunday, Jim Obergefell and partner John Author never thought of themselves as trailblazers or activists in the gay rights movement, but when their last-minute marriage in Maryland to declare their love before John's death wasn't recognized by their home state Ohio, their priorities changed. Jim Obergefell: So not something I ever thought would happen, but it's amazing what'll happen when you love someone enough, when you're willing to fight for what you know is right, and when you're angry. Taylor Wilson: Tune in for a moving conversation led by my colleague, national reporter Zach Wichter, with Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff on the Supreme Court case that paved the way for nationwide gay marriage. That's tomorrow beginning at 5:00 AM, Eastern Time, right here on this feed. ♦ Thanks for listening to The Excerpt. You can get the podcast wherever you get your audio.

'With a Vengeance' by Riley Sager is a tense mystery on a train: Review
'With a Vengeance' by Riley Sager is a tense mystery on a train: Review Justice is best served cold — after a luxury overnight train ride, of course. That's the premise of "With A Vengeance" (Dutton, ★★★ out of four), the newest novel from bestselling author Riley Sager. It's is a locked-room mystery that takes us back to 1954 as a trap is being set. Anna Matheson's plan was simple, and she has put all her energy — and money — into every last detail. Get the people responsible for her family's downfall during the war onto a train where there's no escape, confront them and find out why they did what they did and then deliver them right to authorities waiting at the train's destination. But her meticulous plans are, well, derailed shortly after the train departs Philadelphia. Anna has managed, through anonymous invitations (and mild threats), to lure the six people who were behind destroying her family onto the luxe, and suspiciously empty, Phoenix train for a nonstop overnight ride bound for Chicago. More: USA TODAY's best-selling booklist She's prepared for this moment, prepared to face them all with what she's uncovered about their crimes, but she's unprepared for what comes after. Anna might want justice, but someone on the train apparently wants them dead and is killing Anna's captives, one by one. Now, she is in a literal race against the clock to not only figure out who's behind the murders, but also help protect the people she despises so they can be alive to face the justice they deserve. Sager's novel, which takes readers through each of the 13 hours from the train's departure to its arrival, brings easy comparisons to Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express" and "And Then There Were None." But there's also familiarity from Sager's previous novels: the panicky main character making messy moves, hints of romance past and present, uncovered family secrets and many twists. The journey through "Vengeance" almost loses its way along the tracks setting up some of those twists. Like real train trips, initial excitement can wane as the adventure gets underway and you settle in for the ride. Will it remain fun, or will the repetition rock you to sleep? There's plenty, though, to capture a reader's interest along the way. The tension between the characters, the tightness of the quarters on the train are visceral and sharp. You might not understand why Anna makes some of her choices, but you can understand her grief for the loss of her family and her desperation for closure and justice. That along with the story's short timeframe factor add to the urge to find out what happens next as the mystery deepens and the action escalates. More: Celebrate Pride Month with one of these 10 new books, from romance to nonfiction And Anna is surrounded by characters with more interesting backstories than her own: Her Aunt Retta, glimpsed through flashbacks, who had little patience for weakness, or her late beloved brother, Tommy, the kind and charming youth who joined the military and the war effort both seem worthy of novels of their own. "Vengeance" is not merely the final destination — the answers to whodunit or how — but the whole journey: observing the passing scenery, the setting, the passengers and seeing where the ride takes you.
