The $40,000 Betrayal: How Yella Beezy’s Murder-for-Hire Plot to Kill MO3 Unraveled with New Footage and a Star Witness
The four-year-old mystery surrounding the broad-daylight murder of Dallas rapper MO3 has exploded with the arrest and charging of fellow rapper Yella Beezy for capital murder for hire. Prosecutors allege Beezy was the mastermind behind the 2020 killing, presenting a devastating case built on witness testimony, financial records, and newly released surveillance footage.
The Murder-for-Hire Plot Unravels
Yella Beezy is accused of dropping a $40,000 “bag” (payment) to have MO3 assassinated. The timing of his financial activities provides a crucial link:
-
The Payment: Prosecutors highlighted that Beezy withdrew $40,000 from his bank account just days after MO3’s murder, linking it directly to the price allegedly paid for the hit.
-
The Star Witness: The entire case appears built on a cooperating individual. A state witness is prepared to testify to the exact amount paid for the murder, the individuals responsible for the payment, and that Maris Conway (Yella Beezy) was one of those responsible. Speculation points to assassin Devin Maurice Brown as the snitch, who was allegedly recording conversations with Beezy days after the hit to use as leverage.
The Freeway Execution Caught on Camera
On November 11, 2020, MO3 was driving on the I-35 freeway in Dallas when he noticed a black Chevrolet Camaro following him.
-
The Chase: Realizing he was being ambushed, MO3 swerved and hit the brakes. He then made the fatal mistake of exiting his vehicle, allegedly to retrieve a firearm from the glove box—despite having revealed in past interviews that he rarely carried a gun, preferring to settle disputes with his hands.
-
The Footage: The attack was captured on multiple surveillance cameras, including a previously unreleased dash cam from an 18-wheeler on the highway. This footage, described as “shocking” and “chilling,” showed the masked gunman sprint from the Camaro toward MO3.
-
The Death: MO3 made a desperate run down the highway but was shot nine times and left deceased on the freeway.
The Suspects and The Snitch
The two men who executed the attack were identified as Juan Dantrell White and Devin Maurice Brown. Both men were already entangled in legal trouble and living a high-risk lifestyle.
-
Devin Brown (The Alleged Snitch): Arrested shortly after the murder, Brown was later found with drugs and a stolen AK-47. The rumor that he was recording Yella Beezy suggests he anticipated needing leverage, which he is now allegedly using to unravel the entire plot.
-
Juan White: Arrested before the murder, White was on bond for an unrelated shooting. He was indicted for murder and felon in possession of a firearm.
The Fallout and High Stakes
Yella Beezy’s initial bond was set at $2 million, with the prosecution arguing his wealth and resources made him a flight and intimidation risk. His bond was later reduced to $750,000, secured with the help of family, though he remains under strict house arrest with an ankle monitor.
The stakes in this case are immense: Texas charges for capital murder for hire carry an automatic sentence of life without parole or death. The trial is scheduled for February 2026.
The charges have been met with public affirmation from MO3’s mother, Nicole Williams Noble, who posted “Justice for my baby,” marking a potential turning point for a Dallas rap scene long defined by the fatal beef between these artists.
