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.

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.

[Attached video: Previous FOX 8 coverage] CLEVELAND (WJW) — It's been nearly one year since a 10-year-old girl was shot and killed while celebrating the Fourth of July holiday at a family gathering in Cleveland. Wednesday, two men charged in her death, Juwone Deaver and Jemerious Davis, were both found guilty of murder. Young mother killed in shooting at Cleveland Metroparks Mill Creek Falls On the evening of July 4, 2024, friends and family had gathered at a home at West 125th Street and Triskett Road. As FOX 8 News has previously reported, 10-year-old Gracie Griffin was standing outside the residence along with Deaver, Davis and Katie McKnight. According to Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley, a vehicle with four people inside drove to the house for the party. The vehicle drove past the house, turned around and pulled in front of the home. 'Deaver and Davis then opened fire shooting multiple times with a .45 caliber firearm and an AK-style firearm at the vehicle,' a Wednesday news release from O'Malley's office stated. Gracie Griffin was struck in the head during the shooting and pronounced dead at the hospital. Investigators determined that no shots were fired from the vehicle. There was 'only evidence of outgoing fire from the residence.' Retired Cleveland police officer killed in fire 'An innocent 10-year-old girl lost her life because too many guns are finding their way into the hands of stupid people,' O'Malley was quoted in the news release. 'While this verdict does not bring back Gracie, it is a significant step in justice for her. My thoughts and prayers remain with her family.' Deaver and Davis will be sentenced at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on July 8 at 8:30 a.m. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' eerie favorite TV show revealed at trial
An alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs is revealing the embattled mogul's favorite TV show is a true-crime franchise. Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym in Combs' federal sex-crimes trial, shared in court Tuesday, June 10, the eerie TV show Combs allegedly counts as his favorite. Under cross-examination, Jane said that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs – bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show, "Dateline," until he fell asleep. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," Jane said on the stand. Diddy trial live updates: Jane was jealous over Yung Miami relationship, said 'I'm not Cassie' USA TODAY reached out to reps for "Dateline" for comment. When questioned by Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos, Jane also testified that she still loves Combs to this day. Combs, 55, was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty."Dateline" features main host Lester Holt, the former host of "NBC Nightly News," and correspondents Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Blayne Alexander, Keith Morrison and Dennis Murphy. The show also features Kate Snow, Craig Melvin and Meredith Vieira. The popular show also streams on Peacock. A centerpiece of "Dateline" programming is highlighting injustices and crimes perpetrated by men against women, which Morris discussed during a 2021 USA TODAY interview. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more "Dateline" mainstay Morrison believes more women tune in to "Dateline" so they can "know the lay of the land when it comes to interpersonal crime." Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs "That lays open what I think 'Dateline' has exposed over the years, which is one of the worst epidemics we have: the epidemic of spousal abuse, of women being harmed by men. And I hate to say it, but that's really the basis of so much of the crime that occurs," Morrison said. Holt also told USA TODAY that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said.

Terroristic threat charge being referred for Wisconsin 6th grader after email sent to middle school
GERMANTOWN, Wis. (WFRV) – Following a threatening email directed at a southeastern Wisconsin middle school, authorities have identified the source and are referring a terroristic threat charge against a 6th grader. Officers with the Germantown Police Department noted in a release that after a threatening email was sent to the Kennedy Middle School on Monday, June 2, their investigation culminated in a search warrant at a Germantown home on Friday, June 6. Multiple electronic devices were seized during the search warrant, and they were forensically analyzed. Former Green Bay Packer arrested on drug charges, cash bond set at $5k Data recovered from one of the devices reportedly led to the discovery of a Google account used to send the threatening email. Officers say the device belonged to a 6th grader at the middle school. The email was sent to the Kennedy Middle School attendance email account and allegedly threatened to 'kill all of the teachers,' while mentioning an AK-47. Officers say the student admitted to creating and sending the message. The school secretary who discovered the email immediately contacted the Germantown Police Department's School Resource Officer. Officers say the student's family has been fully cooperative throughout the investigation and is working with law enforcement and the Germantown School District. The students' parents reportedly told investigators that there is no access to guns at the home. Second defendant convicted in human trafficking sexual assault case in Fond du Lac When authorities questioned the student, the student reportedly stated that they were upset following a recent interaction with a teacher and did not intend to act on the threat. We recognize that some parents and community members were concerned about the lack of immediate information. It's important to understand that when a threat of this nature is received, numerous steps must be taken behind the scenes to ensure the safety of students and staff. The school was placed in a 'hold' as a precaution while law enforcement worked to assess and manage the situation. The Germantown Police Department wants to reassure the community that we take all threats seriously and investigate them thoroughly and swiftly. Our detectives worked diligently and continuously to identify the individual responsible and bring this investigation to a swift resolution. We would like to thank the Germantown School District, staff at Kennedy Middle School, the student's family, Washington County Sheriff's Department, and all others who assisted in this investigation. Your cooperation and support are greatly appreciated. Chief Patrick J. Merten, Germantown Police Department A referral for the charge of terroristic threats is being submitted to the Washington County Juvenile Intake. No additional information was provided.
