A second man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of Dallas rapper MO3 on Interstate 35E in Oak Cliff last fall.
A Dallas County grand jury handed up the indictment of Devin Maurice Brown, 28, on Wednesday.
Another man, 22-year-old Kewon Dontrell White, was indicted on a murder charge in February.
The 28-year-old rapper, whose legal name was Melvin Noble Jr., was driving north on I-35E Nov. 11 when he stopped between Illinois Avenue and Clarendon Drive.
When a man got out of another car & approached Noble’s vehicle with a rifle, Noble tried to run but was shot multiple times. A second person was wounded.
Dallas police called the daytime shooting “brazen,” considering how many passers-by could have been in the line of fire.
White was arrested in early December; an arrest-warrant affidavit said that a witness provided police with information about his involvement in the shooting.
At the time of his arrest, federal authorities said that he also faced a gun charge & that Brown — referred to as a “known affiliate” — faced gun & drug charges. Authorities did not publicly link Brown to Noble’s slaying at that time.
Brown was already in custody by the time White was arrested, having been apprehended Nov. 19 on federal charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon & conspiracy to possess with the intent to distribute a controlled substance. Authorities reported finding a stolen AK-47 at his home, along with synthetic marijuana & methamphetamine. He pleaded guilty to those charges earlier this month.
He has several pending charges in Dallas County, including manufacture or delivery of a controlled substance, money laundering & unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
White also has been indicted on a charge of aggravated assault in connection with the November shooting.
Both men remain in federal custody.
