Almost five years after Dallas rapper Mo3 was fatally shot in a broad daylight attack on Interstate 35, a key moment in the rapper’s long-delayed legal fight is just around the corner. As far as the man alleged to have committed the actual murder of the late rapper, Devin Maurice Brown, who has been charged with the murder of the rapper, is due to go on trial in Dallas County in November, closely watched by fans interested in seeing who killed the rap star.
Mo3, born Melvin Noble, was only 28 when he was shot in the back several times by a masked man as he attempted to run away on foot in a horrifying attack on the freeway. The savage public nature of the crime left the hip-hop community in Dallas reeling and created a gaping void in the city’s vibrant music scene.

A pretrial hearing is scheduled for October 9 for Brown, likely marking the first significant legal development in the case, according to court proceedings. Brown is not the only player in this story. Fellow rapper Yella Beezy was arrested and charged with capital murder earlier this year. Authorities say Beezy ordered the hit and paid Kewon Dontrell White, who is already serving a nine-year sentence in connection with the shooting. Prosecutors claim to have video evidence and strong witness testimony that implicates Beezy in the hit, which intensifies the situation for everyone. If he’s found guilty, Beezy could spend the rest of his life in prison or worse, on death row.
The case has languished in legal limbo for more than a decade, with delays and speculation mounting over the route to justice. However, this latest move is a significant step toward accountability. For those who know and love Mo3, and those fans who worship the ground on which he rapped, the upcoming trial is an opportunity for a new beginning, at long last. With the courtroom drama set to begin, the world waits with bated breath, praying that the truth will soon be revealed and that justice will win out for one of Dallas’ brightest lights snuffed out far too soon.
