Dallas Jury Convicts Shooter in MO3 Killing and Sentences Him to Life

Overview

• A Dallas County jury found Kewon White guilty of capital murder for the 2020 Interstate 35E shooting of rapper Mo3 and sentenced him to life in prison without parole.
• Jurors deliberated roughly three hours before returning the guilty verdict after a two-week trial.
• Prosecutors presented surveillance video, travel and phone records, jail calls, and financial traces to support a murder‑for‑hire theory that ties White to alleged co-conspirators.
• White’s defense urged jurors not to treat artistic lyrics and social-media material as admissions of criminal intent, an argument likely to resurface in the next trials.
• The conviction establishes the first jury outcome in the case and gives prosecutors a factual record they say they will use in separate capital-murder cases against Markies Conway, known as Yella Beezy, and Devin Brown, which are scheduled to proceed soon.
