Rapper Yella Beezy appeared in court on Thursday (March 27) for a bond hearing, where prosecutors argued against reducing his $2 million bond.
During the hearing, prosecutors presented new footage from the 2020 fatal shooting of rapper Mo3 in Dallas. The video showed a gunman chasing Mo3 on Interstate 35 in broad daylight before shooting him and fleeing the scene. Investigators recovered 44 bullet casings from the highway following the attack.
Prosecutors then revealed that they have a witness prepared to testify that Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, orchestrated the hit on Mo3. They also alleged that the rapper withdrew $40,000 the day before the murder, implying the money was used as payment for the hit.
State prosecutor Tommy Allen told the judge, "The state's witness will testify that Markies Conway was one of the individuals responsible for a portion of that payment."
In response, Yella Beezy’s attorney pushed back against the claims, arguing that there is no concrete evidence linking his client to the crime. "You've received no information of a text message, no message on any social media platform, no proof that our client paid for this murder—just a person who came forward claiming to have overheard a conversation," the attorney stated.
Despite the prosecution's argument, the judge agreed to lower Yella Beezy's bond to $750,000. However, the judge issued a stern warning, saying, "You are to have no contact, direct or indirect, with any victims or witnesses. No threats, no harassment—whether from you or anyone on your behalf. If that happens, there's going to be a problem. Do you understand that?"
Additionally, the judge expressed concerns about Yella Beezy’s attitude toward the case, noting, "The financial statement the defendant was required to file did not appear to be taken seriously. That concerns me, as it raises questions about whether he is fully grasping the severity of the allegations against him."
