Texas rapper Yella Beezy was arrested and booked into the Dallas County Jail Thursday afternoon after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to Dallas county jail and court records.
Yella Beezy, best known for his breakout hit “That’s On Me,” was arrested for the 2020 murder of fellow Dallas rapper MO3.
Here is what we know about the charges.
What was Yella Beezy charged with?
Yella Beezy (real name Markies Conway) was indicted by a jury on March 18 on a charge of “capital murder while remuneration,” alleging the Texas-born rapper “intentionally and knowingly” took part in the death of MO3 (real name Melvin Noble) by hiring Kewon White to kill him for payment and the “promise of remuneration,” according to a copy of the indictment.
How did MO3 die?
Following MO3’s death on Nov. 11, 2020, police told USA TODAY that the shooting suspect — described as an adult Black male — exited his stopped dark sedan armed with a firearm and approached MO3, who exited his stationary car and began running southbound on the highway.
The suspect — now identified as White — chased MO3, firing multiple shots and striking him. The rapper was transported to an area hospital, where he died from his injuries, according to a police report obtained by USA TODAY at the time. MO3 was 28 years old.
White also struck an innocent bystander, an adult male, who was sitting in a separate car. The second victim was also transported to an area hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

Beezy grew up in Oak Cliff, a neighborhood in Dallas. His breakthrough came on the 2017 mixtape “Lite Work, Vol. 2,” which featured the song “That’s On Me.” The trap track reportedly peaked at No. 25 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, as well as cracked the Hot 100 chart at No. 56. A star-studded 2018 remix featured appearances from 2 Chainz, T.I., Rich the Kid, Jeezy, Boosie Badazz and Trapboy Freddie.
