Mo3 Murder Trial Highlights Surveillance Clips, Witness Confession and $40,000 Withdrawal

The verdict in Kewon White’s trial will determine how prosecutors pursue related charges against two alleged co-conspirators.

Overview

  • Prosecutors say video of a masked gunman chasing Mo3 on Interstate 35E on Nov. 11, 2020 shows the ambush that left the rapper dead and another motorist wounded.
  • Jurors were shown surveillance footage from Nov. 10–11, 2020 that prosecutors contend links a man seen at a residence to Kewon White using a distinctive flash of blue underwear as an identifying detail.
  • Cedric Bradley testified that White confessed days after the shooting and described pulling up, firing at the car, chasing Mo3 and expecting payment for the attack.
  • Detective Eric Barnes testified that records show Markies Conway (Yella Beezy) withdrew $40,000 on Nov. 20, 2020 and investigators presented a theory that the cash fed a payment chain for the alleged hit.
  • White’s defense disputes direct eyewitness ID and the strength of the circumstantial case, and the trial — which continues into September — will shape evidence and strategy for the other defendants.
