达拉斯说唱歌手Yella Beezy雇凶枪杀同行MO3被判终身监禁不得假释
据美联社报道，美国德克萨斯州达拉斯县一个陪审团11月11日一致裁定，35岁说唱歌手 Yella Beezy（本名 Markies Conway）一级谋杀罪成立，认定他雇凶枪杀同行说唱歌手 MO3（本名 Melvin Noble）。法官随即判处他终身监禁、不得假释。这一天恰逢 Noble 遇害六周年。
检方说，2020年11月11日中午前后，28岁的 Noble 驾车行驶在 Dallas 南部的35号州际公路上，枪手 Kewon White 开车靠近后下车持枪逼近，Noble 下车在高速路上奔跑逃命。检察官 Tommy Adams 说，White 戴着面罩追赶 Noble，用一把 AK-47 式手枪连开40多枪。Noble 与一辆车里的一名旁观者中枪，旁观者幸存，Noble 被送往医院后不治身亡。
检方指控，Conway 与 Noble 积怨多年，他付给 White 4万美元实施这次枪击，两人都住在 Dallas。结案陈词阶段，检方向陪审团播放了 Conway 在一次采访中谈到报复的片段，片中他说要「讨回这一局」。检察官 Krystal Biggins 把此案与2018年10月 Conway 在 Dallas 郊区 Lewisville 一条收费公路上驾车遭枪击、身中三枪一事相联系，表示这桩一级谋杀案的起因不过是说唱歌手之间的积怨，却是当着所有人的面发生的。
辩护律师 John Gussio 表示，检方没有证明自己的指控，提出的多是推测，Conway 此前对一级谋杀指控不认罪。今年9月，另一个陪审团已裁定 White 一级谋杀罪成立，White 同样被判终身监禁、不得假释。同案另一名被告 Devin Brown 仍在候审。
Noble 在 Instagram 上有80多万名粉丝，以2019年与路易斯安那州说唱歌手 Boosie Badazz 合作的《Errybody》混音版最为人所知。Conway 以2017年单曲《That's On Me》和2019年与 Quavo、Gucci Mane 合作的《Bacc At It Again》成名。（来源：美联社）
Dallas Rapper Yella Beezy Sentenced to Life Without Parole for Hiring Gunman Who Killed MO3
DALLAS (AP) - A Dallas County jury on Wednesday, November 11, unanimously convicted rapper Yella Beezy, 35, whose real name is Markies Conway, of capital murder for hiring the gunman who fatally shot fellow rapper MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble. Conway was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The verdict came exactly six years after Noble was killed.
Prosecutors said Noble, 28, was driving on Interstate 35 in south Dallas around noon on November 11, 2020, when gunman Kewon White pulled alongside him and stepped out holding a gun. Noble got out of his vehicle and ran on the freeway. Prosecutor Tommy Adams said White wore a mask and fired more than 40 rounds from an AK-47-style pistol while chasing Noble. White shot Noble and a bystander who was inside a car. The bystander survived, but Noble died at a hospital.
Prosecutors said the killing grew out of a feud between Conway and Noble that had escalated over years, and that Conway paid White $40,000 for the shooting. Both men lived in Dallas. During closing arguments, prosecutors showed jurors a video clip of Conway talking about revenge in an interview, saying he would "get his lick back." Prosecutor Krystal Biggins drew a comparison between Noble's killing and a roadway shooting that injured Conway in 2018, when someone pulled up next to him on a tollway in the Dallas suburb of Lewisville and shot him three times. "This was for the world to see," Biggins said. "Over a rap beef, we are here for capital murder."
Defense attorney John Gussio argued that prosecutors had not proven their case and had brought the jury "a lot of speculation." Conway had pleaded not guilty. In September, a jury found White guilty of capital murder for fatally shooting Noble, and White was also sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Another defendant, Devin Brown, has also been charged in connection with the killing and is awaiting trial.
Noble had more than 800,000 Instagram followers and was best known for a 2019 remix of "Errybody" with Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rapper Boosie Badazz. Conway is best known for his 2017 single "That's On Me" and the 2019 song "Bacc At It Again" with Quavo and Gucci Mane. (Source: Associated Press)
