For fans of Texas Hip Hop, today’s news arrives just days after another local artist, Yella Beezy, was arrested on capital murder charges for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of rapper MO3.
MO3, real name Melvin Noble Jr., was gunned down on Interstate 35E in Dallas on November 11, 2020, as he attempted to run away from the shooter.
According to Fox 4 News, a Dallas County grand jury indicted Beezy on Tuesday for capital murder while remuneration, meaning prosecutors believe he paid to have Mo3 killed. Court documents obtained by FOX 4 reveal that Beezy allegedly hired Kewon Dontrell White to carry out the hit. Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was gunned down in broad daylight on I-35 in Dallas on November 11, 2020. Investigators say it was an ambush-style attack—Mo3 was chased on foot before being shot. The killing shook the hip-hop community, as Mo3 was known for his raw lyrics and street storytelling.
This is a developing story.
