Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, has been charged in an alleged murder-for-hire plot in the death of Melvin Noble.
Noble, a Dallas rapper known as Mo3, 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 is listed at $2 million.
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.
