In a dramatic courtroom revelation, prosecutors presented chilling footage capturing the final moments of Dallas rapper Mo3, born Melvin Abdul Noble Jr. The video depicts Mo3 desperately fleeing on foot along Interstate 35 in Dallas before being fatally shot in broad daylight on November 11, 2020. This crucial evidence was introduced during the trial of fellow rapper Yella Beezy, born Markies Deandre Conway, who is accused of orchestrating the murder-for-hire plot.
Alleged Murder-for-Hire Plot Linked to Yella Beezy
Investigators claim that Yella Beezy hired Kewon Dontrell White to execute the killing. Court records indicate that Yella Beezy withdrew $40,000 from his bank account just days after Mo3’s murder—an amount prosecutors argue was used to pay for the hit. This financial transaction has become a key piece of evidence in establishing a direct link between Yella Beezy and the orchestrated assassination.
Harrowing Footage Captures Mo3’s Final Moments
The video footage, presented as evidence, shows Mo3 attempting to escape his attacker on the crowded interstate. The suspect, allegedly White, is seen chasing and fatally shooting Mo3 before fleeing the scene. Prosecutors argue that the footage underscores the calculated and brutal nature of the crime, further strengthening their case against the accused.
Yella Beezy’s Legal Troubles and Prior Arrests
Yella Beezy, best known for his 2017 hit single “That’s On Me,” has faced several legal issues over the years. Before the capital murder charge, he had been arrested on various charges, including drug and weapon possession and sexual assault, though some charges were later dropped. His alleged involvement in Mo3’s murder marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation that has sent shockwaves through the Dallas community.
Additional Indictments and Federal Charges
The case has led to multiple indictments. Kewon Dontrell White, the suspected shooter, was arrested and charged with Mo3’s murder. He is currently serving a nine-year sentence for firearm-related charges connected to the incident. Additionally, Devin Maurice Brown Jr. has been indicted on federal charges related to the case, further expanding the legal proceedings surrounding the killing.

Ongoing Trial and Legal Battle
As the trial progresses, the prosecution is expected to present additional evidence to reinforce their claims that Yella Beezy orchestrated the murder-for-hire scheme. Meanwhile, the defense is likely to challenge the credibility of the evidence and attempt to cast doubt on the prosecution’s narrative. The verdict in this case will have far-reaching ramifications for all involved and will be closely monitored by fans, legal experts, and the broader hip-hop community.
