Yella Beezy murder-for-hire trial enters third week in Dallas
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy faces capital murder charges over the 2020 killing of fellow rapper MO3. Testimony continues into the trial's third week.
Dallas rap murder trial: third week of testimony in Yella Beezy case
A Dallas court resumed proceedings Monday in the capital murder trial of Markies Conway, known professionally as Yella Beezy, accused of orchestrating a murder-for-hire plot against fellow Dallas rapper MO3, according to nbcdfw.com. The judge subsequently announced that testimony would continue from Wednesday morning.
MO3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble, was shot dead on a Dallas freeway in 2020. Witnesses appearing during the first two weeks of testimony described a chaotic exchange of gunfire at the scene as prosecutors laid out their case against Conway.
Prosecutors allege Conway hired Kewon White to carry out the killing, following a feud between the two rappers that is said to have originated in 2017. Conway has pleaded not guilty to the capital murder charge.
White was tried separately and convicted of capital murder in September. He was sentenced to life in prison.
The current proceedings mark the third week of a trial that has drawn sustained attention to a dispute rooted in the Dallas rap scene. Prosecutors continue presenting their case as the court works through witness testimony linked to the alleged conspiracy.
