Yella Beezy asked the judge if he could share one final kiss with his son after receiving a life sentence for the murder of Mo3.
On Wednesday (Nov. 11), a Dallas jury found Beezy guilty in connection with Mo3’s 2020 killing after deliberating for just a few hours. His sentencing followed shortly afterward, as Texas had already ruled out the death penalty in the case. Before the court adjourned, Beezy made one final request to Judge Chikya Anyiam, asking, “Judge, may I kiss my son?”
Judge Anyiam deferred the decision to the bailiff, responding, “If they’ll let you.” However, reports indicate that the 4-year-old had already left the courtroom in tears.
Beezy, whose real name is Markies Conway, was accused of arranging Mo3’s murder. The rapper was shot 11 times in Dallas on the exact date of Beezy’s sentencing, six years after the incident. Mo3 was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Prosecutors alleged that Beezy paid Kewon White to carry out the killing. White reportedly ambushed Mo3 in broad daylight along Interstate 35 in Dallas. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison in September. Another defendant, Devin Brown, is expected to stand trial later this month.
