Prosecutors allege that Markies Conway, known as Yella Beezy, paid Kewon White to kill Melvin Noble, known as MO3, in a 2020 attack on Interstate 35 in Dallas. Prosecutors say the two had a long-running feud. Conway has pleaded not guilty to capital murder and denied involvement. White has already been convicted of capital murder in Noble's death. A third defendant, Devin Brown, also faces a capital murder charge. The trial is expected to last about two weeks.
On Friday, Theodore Thomas, a childhood friend of Conway, returned to court. He had invoked his Fifth Amendment rights the day before and did not testify. Prosecutors called the situation "very fluid" and asked that Thomas's attorney be sworn in as a witness. They asked both to return Wednesday.
Joseph Catania, a director with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, testified about tracking serial numbers on two $100 bills linked to shipments in Florida and Dallas. He said the Federal Reserve cannot monitor cash once it has been spent and recirculated. The defense said the District Attorney's Office first contacted the Federal Reserve in April 2025. It also pointed to non-standard colored rubber bands on the cash bundles.
Timothy Glenn, head of security at the Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood, also testified about Conway's stay there in November 2020.
