The Dallas Rap artist serves life without parole after his capital murder conviction for the killing of MO3.
Texas prison officials have released a new mugshot of Dallas Rap artist Yella Beezy. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) took the photo on November 12, after his transfer to a state prison.
Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, faces life without parole. A jury convicted him of capital murder on November 11. The conviction centres on the 2020 killing of rival rapper MO3, real name Melvin Noble. Gunmen ambushed Noble on Interstate 35 in Dallas.
Prosecutors said Conway paid Kewon White to carry out the killing. Conway pleaded not guilty and denied any involvement. White already stands convicted of capital murder in the case.
The verdict arrived on the sixth anniversary of the murder. Prosecutor Tommy Adams said the jurors got it right. Furthermore, a third defendant, Devin Brown, awaits trial on the same charge. Whilst the verdict closes one chapter, another trial still looms.
