The jury reached their decision on Wednesday, November 11. The rapper, whose real name is Melvin Noble, was shot on I-35 near the Dallas Zoo. Beezy allegedly paid the gunman, identified as Kewon White, $40,000 for the murder. White was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Beezy, who was initially released on $750,000 bond, was indicted by a Dallas grand jury and arrested in March 2025. His attorney stated that the verdict was appreciated, while prosecutors expressed relief, calling it a challenging case over the past six years. The gallery was emotional as the guilty verdict was announced, with Beezy's family and friends visibly moved.",
