Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, known for his hit single “That’s on Me,” has been arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with the 2020 shooting death of fellow artist Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble. The Dallas Police Department alleges that Beezy, whose real name is Ar’mon M. Smith, hired a hitman to đđžđđ Mo3, marking a significant development in a case that has drawn attention from fans and authorities alike.
The indictment comes five years after Mo3 was gunned down on Interstate 35, just south of the Dallas Zoo, leading to widespread mourning among his fans and the local hip-hop community. The police initially arrested a 22-year-old man, Maris Conway, who was convicted on federal gun charges and is now alleged to have been the trigger man in Mo3’s murder. Authorities assert that Beezy promised Conway cash for the hit, further complicating the already intricate narrative of rivalry and betrayal within the Dallas rap scene.
The investigation has revealed that communications between Beezy, Conway, and others involved were pivotal in piecing together the events leading to Mo3’s death. Eyewitness accounts and data tracking have suggested a premeditated plot, raising concerns about the influence of feuds in the rap industry. Mo3’s murder has been widely regarded as a tragic consequence of such rivalries, prompting discussions about the need for greater awareness and safety within the community.
Beezy’s legal team has yet to respond to requests for comment, and the rapper is currently being held at the Dallas County Justice Complex. As the case unfolds, many are awaiting updates on potential bond arrangements and the possibility of a trial. Mo3’s legacy continues to resonate, with fans expressing their grief and support, eager for justice in a case that has captivated and saddened many in the music world. As the legal proceedings advance, the broader implications of this tragedy for the Dallas hip-hop community remain to be seen.
