Yella Beezy has been arrested and charged with capital murder over the killing of fellow Texas rapper Mo3.
Five years after Mo3 (real name Melvin Noble Jr.) was shot and killed in his hometown of Dallas, Beezy was indicted over the fatal attack on Thursday (March 20) following a grand jury verdict.
The 33-year-old rapper, who is best known for the 2017 hit “That’s On Me,” is accused of “orchestrating” the killing and hiring someone to shoot his rival.
Mo3 was gunned down in November 2020 on Interstate 35E near Marsalis Avenue, where he was pursued by a balaclava-clad shooter after running from his vehicle.
The 28-year-old was then shot several times, with the entire incident captured on nearby security cameras.
Two men have previously been arrested in connection with the murder. Kewon Dontrell White and Devin Maurice Brown were both indicted in 2021 on various charges over their alleged involvement.
The new indictment claims that Beezy hired White to commit the murder. White is currently serving a nine-year sentence on gun and drug charges related to the murder.
Yella (real name Markies Conway) is currently being held in Dallas County Jail without bail and no bond has yet been set.
