Judge sets date for Yella Beezy murder trial
Yella Beezy will begin his murder trial next month for his alleged involvement in the death of fellow rapper, Mo3.
The Dallas artist (real name Makies Conway) is accused of hiring a hitman named Kewon White to kill a rival rapper. If found guilty, he potentially faces life in prison or the death penalty.
According to XXL, the judge has announced that Beezy’s murder trial is scheduled to begin on February 2nd, with a pretrial hearing set for January 16th.
Beezy’s legal team is working through “about 16 terabytes of data, 125 additional gigabytes of which were provided during December 2025,” which prosecutors claim as evidence.
“Much of the discovery has no relation to Conway,” his lawyers wrote in a filing. “This discovery isn’t material to the outcome of the case. Nor has it revealed any new or relevant facts about the case. There’re audit files, jail calls, and many other files that aren’t relevant to the case.”
They continued, “There’re video files where many minutes pass and nothing happens. There’re numerous video files and other data showing or describing the same event that are duplicative. Some files aren’t labeled in a way that reveals their content and are labelled with numbers that have no meaning to the defence.”
Beezy was arrested in March 2025 and charged with capital murder. His bond was initially set at $2 million, but it was reduced to $750,000, and he was released.
The alleged murder-for-hire incident took place in November 2020. Mo3 was shot and killed on Interstate 35 in Dallas at the age of 28.
He was chased in his car and on foot, resulting in him being shot as he tried to escape. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
