Footage of Texas rapper Mo3 being chased and fatally shot on I-35 in Dallas was shown in court on Thursday. Mo3, born Melvin Nobles, was gunned down on the highway on Nov. 11, 2020.
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy (pictured below) is accused of hiring the gunman who killed Mo3. Beezy was arrested last week and charged with murder-for-hire. He was granted a reduced bail in court Thursday morning.
Prosecutors allege Yella Beezy, born Markies Conway, hired Kewon Dontrell White to kill Mo3 in 2020.
Video footage of Mo3’s murder was shown in court on Thursday.
In the video, 2 cars are seen speeding side by side on I-35. The gunman, who is driving a black sedan, stopped the car in front of a gold sedan driven by Mo3.
Mo3 got out of his car, walked around to the passenger side of the vehicle and opened the car door. He appeared to take something out of the car before fleeing.
White exited the black sedan armed with an assault rifle and chased Mo3.
Seconds later, White returned to his car before driving off.
Mo3 was shot multiple times on the side of the highway. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Prosecutors say Yella Beezy withdrew $40,000 from his bank account several days after the murder.
The rapper is charged with capital murder for remuneration (hiring a hitman).
White was already out on bond for shooting his transgender lover when he killed Mo3.

Yella Beezy’s bail was set at $2 million cash last week. His lawyer filed a motion asking for a bail reduction since Beezy is not a flight risk.
Beezy’s bail was reduced to $750,000 cash during a hearing on Thursday morning.
“We are very satisfied with the bond hearing,” Beezy’s lawyer John Gussio told The Dallas Morning News.
According to HypeFresh, the feud between Beezy and Mo3 stemmed from a disagreement over who represented the Oak Cliff neighborhood of Dallas.
In a previous incident, Mo3 was the alleged gunman when Yella Beezy was shot and wounded on the North Dallas Tollway in Lewisville, Texas in 2018.
Beezy is best known for his 2017 single “That’s On Me”, and his 2019 song “Bacc At It Again” (ft. Quavo and Gucci Mane).
