The defense plans to appeal after a Dallas jury found Yella Beezy guilty of paying to have fellow rapper MO3 killed, WFAA reports. Reporting outside the Lew Sterrett Jail, the station says Beezy is awaiting transfer to a Texas prison following his capital murder conviction.
The verdict follows a trial whose evidence included phone records, financial transactions and rap lyrics. WFAA says jurors reached their decision after reviewing circumstantial evidence linking Beezy to the killing on a Dallas freeway. The station had previously covered the brawl footage and rap videos presented during the trial, as we reported here.
The report says the conviction carries an automatic life sentence without the possibility of parole. It also describes relatives of both rappers crying after the verdict.
WFAA's short report drew nearly 89,000 views before its first full day was over, far beyond the station's usual audience for a Short. A separate follow-up showing a newly released mugshot of Beezy, whose name is Markies Conway, also drew an unusually large audience for the channel.
Former Dallas rapper whose real name is Markies Deandre Conway. In November 2026, he was convicted of capital murder in MO3's killing and sentenced to life without parole.
