Kewon White sentenced to life in Mo3 murder trial

Overview

Legal proceedings regarding the 2020 shooting death of rapper Mo3 (Melvin Noble) on Interstate 35E have reached a significant milestone. On September 4, a Dallas jury found Kewon White guilty of capital murder. White, accused of being the gunman hired to carry out the killing, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors did not seek the death penalty.

The trial examined a fatal highway ambush where surveillance footage showed a gunman in a ski mask chasing Noble into oncoming traffic; Noble was struck 13 times. Evidence presented during the trial included testimony from Detective Eric Barnes regarding the alleged murder-for-hire plot. Financial records indicated that rapper Yella Beezy (Markies Conway) withdrew $40,000 in cash shortly after the shooting, and cellphone records suggested White was paid $20,000 for the hit.

While White has been sentenced, the legal matters involving the alleged orchestrators remain ongoing. Yella Beezy has pleaded not guilty and denies involvement. Other defendants, including Devin Brown and Jerry Johnson, have also pleaded not guilty to charges related to the coordination of the attack.
