Jury selection in the capital murder trial of Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, the second trial connected to the high-profile 2020 killing of fellow rapper MO3, is on hold for now after a continuance was granted in the trial. Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, is accused of capital murder in connection with the death of MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble. Conway is accused of orchestrating the killing. Prosecutors say he paid Kewon White $40,000 to commit the murder. Conway’s defense team has requested a continuance because an expert witness will no longer be available. The defense is also waiting for transcripts from White’s trial. White was found guilty for his role in the alleged murder-for-hire case after his trial wrapped up earlier this month. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Kewon White murder trial: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6 | Day 7 | Day 8 The shooting happened in broad daylight in November 2020 after a confrontation on I-35E in Dallas. Police said Noble got out of his vehicle and ran from a gunman before he was shot. A bystander was also injured. The cases have drawn significant attention as they have moved through the court system. Earlier this summer, they made national headlines when a judge ruled that some of Yella Beezy’s rap lyrics could be allowed as evidence in the trial.
