Prosecutors alleged that another Dallas rapper, Yella Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, hired White to carry out the killing following a long-running feud. Conway has pleaded not guilty to capital murder and has denied involvement in MO3’s death. Prosecutors have accused Conway of arranging the killing and paying White to carry it out.

White was already serving time on an unrelated federal gun charge before being convicted in the MO3 case. A third defendant, Devin Brown, has also been charged with capital murder in connection with the killing. Conway and Brown are expected to face separate trials in the case.
