Yella Beezy, best known for his breakout trap hit “That’s On Me,” has been arrested for the 2020 shooting death of fellow rapper MO3.
The 33-year-old emcee, born Markies Conway, was apprehended by authorities and booked into the Dallas County Jail Thursday afternoon after a warrant was issued for his arrest, according to jail and court records obtained by USA TODAY.
The arrest came two days after Beezy was charged with felony murder by a grand jury in the death of MO3, who was shot and killed during a midday shooting on a Dallas highway.
“Pursuant to said agreement, Kewon White did then and there intentionally and knowingly cause the death of (Noble) by shooting (him) with (a) firearm,” the indictment reads.
White was reportedly arrested a month after MO3’s death and is currently serving a nine-year prison sentence for firearm charges related to the shooting, according to Dallas outlets KDFW and WFAA.
Following MO3’s death on Nov. 11, 2020, police told USA TODAY that the shooting suspect — described as an adult Black male — exited his stopped dark sedan armed with a firearm and approached MO3, who exited his stationary car and began running southbound on the highway.
