how many times was mo3 shot

Dallas rapper MO3 (born Melvin Noble) was shot 13 times.

According to testimony from retired Dallas County Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jeffrey Barnard during the 2026 murder trials, the autopsy revealed 13 gunshot wounds across MO3’s front, back, and side.

Key details from the forensic testimony and investigation include:

• Lethality of the wounds. While the medical examiner noted that any of the 13 rifle wounds could have been fatal, four to five of them—including a direct shot to his heart—were rapidly lethal.
• Total rounds fired. Forensic examiners recovered 44 spent cartridge casings from the Interstate 35 crime scene in Dallas, where the gunman chased MO3 on foot after he exited his vehicle.
• Legal outcomes. Gunman Kewon White was convicted of capital murder in September 2026. Rival rapper Yella Beezy (Markies Conway) was subsequently convicted of capital murder on November 11, 2026, for hiring White to carry out the hit, with both men receiving life sentences without parole.
