Yella Beezy made an appearance in court with restraints as a Dallas judge decided to reduce his bond to $750,000 and cautioned him against contacting any witnesses in the Mo3 murder case.

During a tense court session in Dallas, Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, saw his $2 million bond lowered to $750,000. Alleged to be involved in a murder-for-hire scheme related to fellow artist Mo3, the rapper was sternly warned by the judge about his behavior.

Prosecutors presented evidence claiming that Yella Beezy orchestrated the killing of rapper Melvin Noble, also known as Mo3, in 2020 on Interstate 35E. Surveillance footage from a Kroger truck showed a black sedan intercepting Mo3’s car and the suspected gunman fatally shooting him in broad daylight after chasing him on foot.

A witness reported overhearing Conway discussing payment for the murder, and prosecutors highlighted a $40,000 cash withdrawal made by Yella Beezy immediately following the incident, which matched the alleged payout.

Despite the concerns raised by prosecutors about Beezy's potential influence on witnesses, defense lawyers argued that there was no direct evidence connecting him to the crime. They also questioned the credibility of the witness and emphasized Yella Beezy's supportive role in the community, as testified by his grandmother, Alma Alexander.

The judge decided to lower the bond due to the severity of the charge but the absence of concrete evidence linking Conway to the crime. The judge emphasized the prohibition of any contact, direct or indirect, with witnesses and warned of consequences for any intimidation or harassment.

Yella Beezy was criticized for not treating the case seriously, particularly concerning financial disclosures. If released, Beezy will have to surrender his passport, wear an ankle monitor, and remain on house arrest.
