Markies Conway — the Dallas rapper known as Yella Beezy — was found guilty of capital murder by remuneration on November 11, 2026, for the 2020 highway killing of MO3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble. The jury began deliberating at 9 a.m. and returned the verdict about six hours later, on the sixth anniversary of the shooting.
What is established: the guilty verdict, the charge of capital murder by remuneration, and a mandatory life sentence in Dallas County Criminal District Court No. 7. The Dallas Observer reports the sentence is life without parole because the state did not seek death. What is not established: the prosecution's account of motive offered in closing argument, and the defense's characterisation of the state's case as built on assumptions. Those remain argument, not findings.
