Yella Beezy found guilty of murder
Associated Press reported that the 35-year-old rapper has been found guilty of murder and has been charged with life in prison without the possibility of parole. The sentencing took place on November 11. This verdict means that the rapper will not have a chance to apply for parole and will remain behind bars for the remainder of his life. Along with him, Kewon was also convicted of capital murder in September 2026. He had also been sentenced to life without parole.At the trial, prosecutors presented the argument that the musician hired a man named Kewon White and paid him approximately USD 40,000 to end Mo3’s life. The fellow rapper was killed in a shootout on a Dallas highway six years ago. The reasoning behind the killing was mentioned as a feud that had been going on between the two for a very long time. When the case first went to court, the defendants alleged that no clear connections tied Yella to the murder and had gone for the not guilty plea.
What happened to Mo3?
The outlet revealed that the rapper, whose real name was Melvin Noble, had been driving on Interstate 35 in Dallas on November 11, 2020. He stopped his car when another one pulled up alongside him. Kewon, the hired muscle, reportedly got out of his car with a gun, which made the 28-year-old rapper run away. However, the gunman opened fire while chasing him, fatally injuring Mo3. He was later rushed to a nearby hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. At the time, another person in the area was injured because of the open firing; however, they were able to make it out alive.Disclaimer: This report is a journalistic account of a recent court development.
