Yella Beezy convicted 6 years to day of MO3's death

Rapper Yella Beezy has been found guilty of capital murder for the death of a rival rapper. Hello, everybody. I'm Heather Hayes. I'm Steve Eager. It's nine o'clock. This is the new booking photo of him. His real name is Marquise Conway. After the verdict, it's been six years since rapper Moe Three's shooting death on a Dallas interstate. Fox 4's David Centendri has more reaction to today's verdict. David. Well, today is November 11th, 11-11, and to some, that number combination has spiritual implications. It's also six years to the date of the Rappers' murder. And when talking about these coincidences, prosecutors talked about a higher power. We, the jury, unanimously find the defendant, Marquise Conway, guilty of capital murder as charged Thank you. Marquise Conway, also known as Dallas-based rapper Yella Beezy, will spend the rest of his life in prison without an opportunity for parole. On Wednesday, a jury convicting him of a murder-for-hire plot against Melvin Noble, a rival Dallas rapper named Moe 3. Yella Beezy was out on bond before and during his trial. After the verdict, Dallas County Sheriff's deputies were seen handcuffing him before leading him out of court to pose for a new mugshot and to find a jail cell. Loved ones of the victim, Moe Three, teary-eyed after the verdict. It's announced exactly six years after the murder. I believe that this happened for a reason this way. Prosecutor Tommy Adams believes the timing is supernatural. It's been one of the most challenging cases over the last six years. I remember getting the call that day when Melvin was on the highway. That highway is I-35. Two months ago, a jury found Kiwan White guilty of capital murder for ambushing Moe 3, who tried to escape on foot but was chased, shot, and killed. A bystander was also shot but survived. Now, after a two-week trial, a new jury believes beyond a reasonable doubt. That Yella Beezy hired White to commit the murder. Prosecutors cited cell phone data, cash withdrawals, and even rap lyrics to make their case. Yella Beezy and Moe Three had an ongoing feud. Prosecutors praised the jury for the verdict. And they're asked to come down here and look at thousands of pieces of evidence and spend two and a half weeks with a bunch of attorneys hearing very difficult evidence. We're going to keep fighting. Defense attorney Toby Shook believes the state's case was not proven beyond a reasonable doubt. And all that will be addressed in the appeals. You had a total intersection of music and evidence that was used to convict. Attorney Raghi Dunn is not connected to this case, but while providing commentary to Fox 4, he brings up the Yella Beezy rap song prosecutors claim put a bounty on rapper Moe 3's head. If you are going to pay to get somebody whacked, Why in the world you would write a song about it and say, I got a bounty on this person's head? It doesn't make any sense. Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty. Jurors deliberated for six hours.
