Kewon White found guilty of capital murder in 2020 killing of Dallas rapper Mo3
Jurors have found Kewon White guilty of capital murder in the 2020 killing of rapper Mo3 on a Dallas highway.
Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced White to life in prison with no chance of parole.
Prosecutors said White was hired to carry out the killing by Mo3's rap rival, Dallas rapper Yella Beezy.
Authorities said White chased and fatally shot Mo3 on Interstate 35E.
The jury deliberated for about three hours on Friday before returning the verdict. Both sides rested their cases and delivered closing arguments late Friday afternoon.
White did not testify in his own defense.
In March 2025, Yella Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, was charged in an alleged murder-for-hire plot in the death of Mo3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble.
Noble died Nov. 11, 2020, after police say he was shot by White. Mo3 was best known for his 2018 hit single "Errybody."
According to court documents, Conway allegedly arranged for White to carry out the killing in exchange for payment. White is accused of then shooting Noble with a firearm.
Conway was arrested by Dallas police on March 20, 2025, and booked into the Dallas County Jail.
In 2021, Conway, who previously opened for Jay-Z and Beyoncé, was arrested in Collin County on charges of sexual assault, abandoning or endangering a child, and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Those charges were later dismissed.
In 2018, Conway was shot multiple times inside a car on the Sam Rayburn Tollway in Lewisville.CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.
