Dallas rapper Yella Beezy posts bail, released after bond was reduced from $2 million
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, has been released from the Dallas County Jail after posting bond that was reduced on Thursday to $750,000. Beezy has been charged in an alleged murder-for-hire plot in the death of rapper Mo3, whose name was Melvin Noble . Noble died on Nov. 11, 2020, after being shot by a suspect who chased him on foot on I-35E. Mo3 was best known for his 2018 hit single "Errybody." According to court documents, Conway allegedly had Kewon White carry out the murder for remuneration, or a cash payment, which he promised to provide. Following this agreement, White is said to have shot Noble with a firearm. Conway, now 33 years old, was arrested by Dallas police on March 20 and booked into the Dallas County Jail. His bond was listed at $2 million, but during a bond reduction hearing on Thursday, his bond was reduced to $750,000. Texas bail bond laws state that the defendant can pay 10% of that fee to a bail bond company and enter an agreement with that company, and the company will pay the remaining bail. In 2021, Conway, who previously opened for Jay-Z and Beyonce, was arrested in Collin County on three charges of sexual assault, abandoned endangered child and unlawful carrying a weapon. Those charges were later dismissed . In 2018, Conway was shot multiple times inside a car on the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Lewisville.

Yella Beezy Indicted For Hiring Hitman That Killed Mo3
Yella Beezy has been arrested in connection with the murder of fellow rapper Mo3. USA Today reports that the Dallas rapper was indicted by a grand jury on Tuesday (March 18) and booked into the Dallas County Jail on Thursday (March 20). An arrest warrant was issued for the rapper, né Markies Conway, after investigators learned that he'd hired a man named Kewon Dontrell White for Mo3's killing. DJ Akademiks shared a copy of the indictment on X/Twitter, revealing that the Southern artist 'called [White] on or about the 11th day of November 2020 … intentionally and knowingly' planned the killing. As a result, the 'That's On Me' rapper has been charged with capital murder with promise of remuneration. If convicted for both the murder and the murder-for-hire plot, Mo3 will be facing the death penalty in Texas. Investigators claim that a ski-masked White ambushed Noble in broad daylight on a Dallas street. Mo3 exited his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, but his attacker fired several shots.
