In a shocking turn of events, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has confirmed the arrest of hip-hop artist Yella Beezy in connection with the murder of fellow rapper Mo3. According to a statement from law enforcement, Yella Beezy was stopped by police for a routine traffic violation when officers discovered he was wanted for his alleged involvement in the murder-for-hire plot that led to Mo3’s death.
The tragic incident occurred in November 2020 when Mo3, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was shot while driving on Interstate 35 in Dallas. An investigation into the murder revealed that Yella Beezy allegedly provided $150,000 to an associate, Banzo Bling, to carry out the attack. The police report indicates that Devin Brown, a recently released inmate, testified against Yella Beezy, claiming he played a central role in the conspiracy.
Witnesses reported that Mo3 was shot multiple times after exiting his vehicle in an attempt to flee. At the time of the shooting, he was reportedly in the vicinity of a home linked to Josie Banks, who is said to have known both men. The ongoing investigation has revealed a web of betrayal and rivalry among local artists, with many speculating that longstanding feuds contributed to the tragic outcome.
Amidst the turmoil, Mo3’s family has expressed relief that authorities are pursuing justice for his death. Mo3’s mother stated that those responsible for her son’s murder are known and that she is grateful for the progress being made in the case. As Yella Beezy faces serious charges, the Dallas community is left grappling with the loss of Mo3, a beloved figure in the hip-hop scene who had been working to uplift his neighborhood and inspire others.
As the legal proceedings unfold, the case has highlighted the ongoing issues of violence in the hip-hop community, raising questions about trust and loyalty among artists. The investigation continues, with law enforcement urging anyone with information to come forward.
