Newly released images show the gunman wanted in connection with the freeway murder of Dallas rapper Mo3, Dallas police say.

Dallas police investigators released images Thursday night that they say show the gunman in the freeway murder of Dallas rapper Mo3.

The 28-year-old performer, whose real name was Melvin Noble, was gunned down Nov. 11 on Interstate 35E near Marsalis Avenue.

The images appear to show an armed man emerging from a black car -- possibly a Chevrolet Camaro -- wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans. Police say the gunman chased Noble on foot and opened fire, hitting Noble and a bystander who was sitting in his car. The bystander was hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Dallas police released the above image of the car driven by the gunman in Melvin Noble's killing.

Noble was taken to a hospital where he died.

No arrests have been made and a motive behind the shooting remains unclear. Police were not able to say whether the shooting was related to road rage or if it was a targeted attack.

Noble had more than 800,000 followers on his Instagram page and was best known for a 2019 remix of the song “Errybody,” with Baton Rouge, Louisiana, rapper Boosie Badazz.

Family, friends and fans are gathered at a vigil to remembered Dallas rapper MO3. MO3, whose real name is Melvin Noble, was gunned down on I-35E near Marsalis on Wednesday. Texas Sky Ranger captured the scene as two blocks around Dallas City Hall were closed for a vigil on the plaza.
