Dallas-based rapper Yella Beezy, born Markies Deandre Conway, has been arrested and charged with capital murder in connection to the 2020 killing of fellow rapper Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble.
Yella Beezy, best known for his breakout trap hit "That's On Me," was arrested for the 2020 shooting death of fellow rapper MO3. The 33-year-old emcee, born Markies Conway, was apprehended by authorities and booked into the Dallas County Jail Thursday afternoon after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to jail and court records obtained by USA TODAY. The arrest came two days after Beezy was charged with felony murder by a grand jury in the death of MO3, who was shot and killed during a midday shooting on a Dallas highway.
Authorities allege that Conway hired Kewon Dontrell White to carry out the fatal shooting on Interstate 35E in Dallas on November 11, 2020.

According to investigators, on the day of the incident, Noble was traveling on I-35E when he was approached by a masked gunman, identified as White. Noble attempted to flee on foot but was pursued and shot multiple times.
White was arrested a month later and is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for firearm charges related to the shooting.
Conway, 33, was formally indicted by a Dallas County grand jury on March 18, 2025, on charges of capital murder while remuneration, indicating the alleged murder-for-hire nature of the crime. He was taken into custody on March 20 and is being held in the Dallas County Jail without bond. ​
