Testimony continues
The capital murder trial of Markies Conway, the Dallas rapper known as Yella Beezy, entered its second week on November 3, according to FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth.
Prosecutors allege that Conway paid Kewon White to kill Melvin Noble, who performed as MO3, following a long-running dispute. Conway has pleaded not guilty and denies involvement. [2]
MO3 killed on Interstate 35E
Noble was killed on Interstate 35E on November 11, 2020. The Dallas County District Attorney's Office said a gunman pursued him on foot after vehicles stopped on the highway.
Investigators gathered surveillance footage, witness accounts, phone records and financial evidence. A jury convicted White of capital murder, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole, the office said. [1]
Separate prosecutions
FOX 4 reported that Conway's trial was delayed by a month so his lawyers could obtain the transcript from White's trial. The station said prosecutors had presented evidence in White's case of an alleged payment from Conway.
A third defendant, Devin Brown, also faces a capital murder charge. FOX 4's November 3 report said Conway's trial was expected to last about two weeks. [2]
