Investigators believe that the two men, who were in separate vehicles, stopped on the freeway near the Dallas Zoo on Nov. 11, according to KTVT. Noble exited his vehicle and began to flee from White, who chased the rapper and opened fire, authorities said. After shooting Noble, authorities said White returned to his vehicle and fled, the news outlet reported.
Police have not released a motive in the case, KTVT reported.
