As Dallas rapper Yella Beezy<\/a> awaits trial on a capital murder charge while under house arrest, his legal team has filed a motion requesting he be allowed to leave his home for work. <\/p>\n

Attorneys John Gussio and Toby Shook, who represent the rapper, wrote in the Aug 4. motion that their client had missed employment opportunities due to the conditions of his bond. <\/p>\n

The lack of employment \u201chas put a significant strain on his current financial obligations,\u201d the lawyers wrote. <\/p>\n

They cited his lack of bond violations and his ankle monitor as \u201csufficient protection\u201d for the public. <\/p>\n

In an email to The Dallas Morning News last week, Gussio said his client\u2019s lost work opportunities included collaborating with other artists and studio time. When asked later about what the work release would entail, Gussio declined to comment further. <\/p>\n

Claire Crouch, a spokesperson for the Dallas County district attorney\u2019s office, declined to comment on the filing when reached by text on Friday. <\/p>\n

In a March indictment, a Dallas County grand jury accused Yella Beezy, born Markies Conway, of orchestrating a 2020 hit on Melvin Noble, who was gunned down in broad daylight on Interstate 35E in Oak Cliff. <\/p>\n

Noble, a rapper who performed under the stage name MO3, was allegedly a rival of Conway, although both entertainers had denied any feud. <\/p>\n

In separate indictments<\/a> filed against Kewon Dontrell White and Devin Maurice Brown in late March, each man was accused of being hired by Conway to carry out the fatal shooting. <\/p>\n

Authorities suspected White of being the gunman, according to an arrest-warrant affidavit from 2020<\/a>. Detectives said they received information from witnesses and cellular data that linked him to the shooting. <\/p>\n

Brown\u2019s alleged involvement in Noble\u2019s death remains unclear. A November trial date<\/a> has been set for Brown\u2019s case. <\/p>\n

\u201cDevin is and has been ready for his day in court on this allegation [and] quite frankly, ready to return home and to his family,\u201d his lawyer, Elaine Evans, told The News last month, adding that her client had been incarcerated since 2020 and unable to make bond due to a lack of employment. <\/p>\n

A trial date in Conway\u2019s case has not been set. <\/p>\n

In April<\/a>, a Dallas County judge denied a request from his legal team to allow him to attend his son\u2019s football games. <\/p>\n

Conway has faced legal<\/a> trouble<\/a> in the past. <\/p>\n

Last summer, he was named as a defendant in a civil suit stemming from an alleged altercation<\/a> at a Chris Brown tour stop in Fort Worth. The famous R&B singer, Conway and two other men were accused of assaulting four concertgoers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Dallas rapper Yella Beezy awaits trial on a capital murder charge while under house arrest, his legal…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":150065,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5135],"tags":[5229,356,4219,1596,975,4006,358,3187,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-150064","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-dallas","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-courts","10":"tag-crime","11":"tag-dallas","12":"tag-music","13":"tag-pop-music","14":"tag-texas","15":"tag-tx","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-united-states-of-america","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","20":"tag-us","21":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115037570621803519","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150064","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150064"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150064\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150065"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150064"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150064"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150064"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
