Yella Beezy's capital murder trial in Mo3's death is delayed to October 26, 2026, as defense reviews the triggerman's trial transcript.
- September 16, 2026
AceShowbiz - Yella Beezy’s murder trial related to the death of fellow rapper Mo3 has been postponed and is now set to begin on October 26, 2026. Originally scheduled for jury selection on September 14, a judge granted a delay after a request from Yella Beezy’s defense attorney.
The Dallas-based rapper, born Markies Conway, faces charges of capital murder by remuneration, meaning he is accused of hiring a killer to murder Mo3 on a Dallas highway in November 2020. Earlier this month, Kewon White, the man convicted of carrying out the killing, was found guilty of capital murder.
Yella Beezy’s legal team asked for more time to review the transcript from White’s trial, as White is now expected to be a potential witness in Yella Beezy’s upcoming case. Additionally, the defense noted that a key witness would not be available if the trial proceeded this week.
Following his conviction, White, who has been sentenced to life in prison without parole, publicly stated that Yella Beezy did not pay him to kill Mo3. He expressed that he accepted his sentence and denied any involvement of payment or a murder-for-hire agreement. However, these statements have not altered the charges against Yella Beezy.
Yella Beezy has entered a plea of not guilty. If convicted, he could face life imprisonment.
This case has attracted significant attention due to the high-profile nature of both rappers involved and the violent circumstances surrounding Mo3’s death. The postponement allows both sides additional time to prepare for what is expected to be a complex and closely watched trial.
Coverage of the trial’s postponement was provided by WFAA, highlighting the legal developments and the reasons behind the delay. The rescheduled trial date of October 26 will mark a crucial moment in the ongoing legal proceedings against Yella Beezy.
As this case progresses, updates are anticipated regarding witness testimonies and further courtroom events. The outcome could have significant implications for the parties involved and the broader hip-hop community.
