Arrest Made In Dallas Rapper Mo3's Shooting Death

Authorities in Dallas arrested a 21-year-old man who is believed to be involved in the November shooting death of Dallas rapper Mo3.

Kewon Dontrell White was taken into federal custody on Wednesday, December 9, on a charge of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person. He is also facing a murder charge.

White is suspected of shooting Mo3, born Melvin A. Noble, on November 11 on northbound I-35 near Clarendon Drive. The shooter got out of a black Chevy Camaro on the freeway before firing multiple times at the 28-year-old rapper.

Sources told TMZ that Mo3 got out of his car to run away from the suspect before being shot.

Mo3 was taken to a nearby hospital where he died. The suspect fled the scene in the Camaro.

Police identified White as a possible suspect after a witness came forward when authorities released a photo of the shooter, according to the arrest affidavit.

Authorities have not said if or how White and Mo3 knew each other.

On November 13, rapper Boosie Badazz was shot in the leg while at Big T Plaza in Dallas. Boosie Badazz, born Torrence Hatch Jr., was seen at a vigil for Mo3 at Dallas City Hall the day earlier.

Mo3 worked closely with Boosie's label and the two men collaborated on the single "Errybody (Remix)."

Dallas Police have not said if the two shootings are related.
