According to Hot New Hip-Hop, the trial verdict was handed down on Nov. 11, 2026. Beezy—real name Markies Conway—has been found guilty of hiring Kewon White to kill MO3. Prosecutors argued that Beezy paid White $40,000 for the hit.
Previously, White was convicted of murder for shooting MO3, real name Melvin Abdul Noble Jr. He was sentenced to life without parole. Beezy could face a similar fate. Notably, the shooting happened in broad daylight on Interstate 35 in Dallas on Nov. 11, 2020. That is exactly six years ago today that Beezy’s conviction was handed down.
It is believed that Beezy’s legal team will appeal his conviction.
Following the guilty verdict, lead prosecutor Tommy Adams told reporters, “We don’t know what turned it for the jurors.” He added, per the AP, “We appreciate the verdict. We think they got it right today.” Adam then said, “It’s been one of the most challenging cases over the last six years.”
The verdict comes after a witness, one of beezy’s friends, confessed to lying under oath
Yella Beezy’s guilty verdict comes more than a week after it was reported that one of the trial’s key witnesses confessed to lying under oath.
Back in February 2025, a Grand Jury recieved 143 pages of testimony from Jose Bodega, a childhood friend of Beezy. Bodega’s testimony was given under immunity. At the time, he alleged that Yella Beezy and Trapboy Freddy, another Texas MC, wanted MO3 dead.
On Oct. 29, 2026, he was called to testify and invoked his Fifth Amendment right. Then, on Nov. 2, he walked back his previous testimony by saying he “lied” to the Grand Jury. “I made it up,” Bodega said.
“You may not consider those earlier statements as evidence that the facts stated in them are true,” Judge Anyiam said, making it clear that the jury could not use his previous testimony in consideration of Beezy’s guilt.
It is currently unclear when Beezy will be expected back in court for sentencing.
