Jurors in the Kewon White trial are hearing a deeply emotional testimony from Nichole Noble, the mother of MO3, the murdered rapper. Noble, who testified before the court, described her son as a ‘family comedian’ and someone whose celebrity vanished when he entered the home, a sentiment that resonated with the jury. To her relatives, she stated, he was still Melvin or ‘Bubba.’ She recalled him as the person who could change the mood when someone was having a bad day, emphasizing his consistent presence and comforting nature. Noble’s testimony came as prosecutors presented their case against White, who is the first defendant to face a jury in this alleged murder-for-hire plot surrounding MO3’s November 2020 death. Prosecutors allege he tracked MO3, whose legal name was Melvin Noble, before pursuing him on foot along Interstate 35E and fatally shooting him. Yella Beezy, born Markies Conway, is separately accused of hiring White to carry out the killing, while Devin Brown is accused of helping coordinate the attack. All three men have pleaded not guilty. The state opened its case by portraying White as the gunman in a planned attack rather than a spontaneous highway confrontation. Dallas County prosecutor Tommy Adams told the jury, “There was a hitman on the highway” and identified White as that person. Defense attorney Myra McIntosh countered that prosecutors are asking jurors to fill gaps in their evidence rather than proving their theory beyond a reasonable doubt. KERA reported on the competing opening statements. Several witnesses have already taken jurors back to the highway where MO3 was killed. Neurosurgeon Randall Graham testified that he saw an armed, masked man chasing another man and later attempted to give Noble CPR. Retired Dallas County medical examiner Jeffrey Barnard testified that Noble suffered 13 rifle wounds. Jurors have also heard from Jocylynn Jackson, who was dating MO3 at the time and shares children with Brown. She testified that MO3 had left her home shortly before he was killed, and that the timing struck her as suspicious. A post shared by Trap House (@traphouse) revealed witnesses are helping prosecutors reconstruct the mechanics of the shooting. Noble’s mother gave the jury something different. Her testimony briefly shifted the case away from surveillance footage and forensic evidence to the person whose death sits at the center of every allegation being argued in court. Meanwhile, White’s trial is expected to last roughly two weeks. He is being tried separately from Conway and Brown, whose cases remain pending.
