Dallas rapper Markies Deandre Conway, known professionally as Yella Beezy, has been arrested and indicted on a charge of capital murder in connection with the 2020 shooting death of fellow Dallas rapper Melvin Noble, known as Mo3.

A Dallas County grand jury returned the indictment this week, accusing Conway of orchestrating the killing “while remuneration was involved.” That charge implies he allegedly hired someone to carry out the shooting.

Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was gunned down in broad daylight on Nov. 11, 2020, on Interstate 35E near Marsalis Avenue. Police said Noble was pursued on foot by a gunman after trying to flee from his vehicle, then shot multiple times. The shooting was captured on traffic cameras and widely circulated.
