The murder case surrounding Dallas rapper MO3 has taken another explosive turn after alleged gunman Kewon Dontrell White spoke publicly from behind bars—and delivered two statements that appeared to collide head-on.
“I know what I did,” White said in a newly surfaced jailhouse interview.
Moments later, he insisted authorities had arrested the wrong man.
White was the first person charged in connection with the November 2020 killing of MO3, whose real name was Melvin Noble. He is already serving a federal prison sentence for illegally possessing a firearm, while the murder case against him remains unresolved.
His decision to discuss the case publicly has stunned viewers and legal observers. Rather than remaining silent, White challenged the prosecution’s evidence and suggested the real killer may still be free.
The timing could not be more dramatic.
Dallas rapper Yella Beezy, born Markies Deandre Conway, was recently charged with capital murder while remuneration. Prosecutors allege that Beezy arranged a paid hit on MO3 and hired White as the shooter.
Their theory reportedly relies on phone records, cell-tower data, witness testimony and a $4,000 cash withdrawal made shortly after the killing. One witness allegedly claimed the money represented payment for the murder.
Beezy’s attorneys strongly dispute that narrative.
They argue that the state lacks direct messages, documented payments or other clear digital evidence linking him to a murder-for-hire scheme. They have also attacked the credibility of the prosecution’s key witness, pointing to the person’s criminal history and possible motives.
A judge later reduced Beezy’s bond from $2 million to $750,000, although she warned him not to contact, threaten or influence anyone tied to the case.
White’s latest statements could create even more confusion.
If prosecutors maintain that he was the shooter, but White continues publicly denying the murder, the state may have to prove its entire conspiracy theory without his cooperation. His words do not erase the charges—but they could give defense attorneys new material to challenge the government’s story.
MO3 was chased and fatally shot on a Dallas highway in broad daylight, a killing captured by surveillance cameras and witnesses. The shocking nature of the attack turned the case into one of hip-hop’s most closely watched unsolved tragedies.
Now two men stand at the center of the storm: one accused of pulling the trigger, the other accused of paying for it.
But the biggest question remains untouched:
If White says he did not kill MO3, and prosecutors say Beezy ordered the hit, where is the evidence that connects every piece of the story?
