DALLAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Dallas police are searching for the man they say repeatedly shot at two people earlier this month, killing one.

Around 11 p.m. on Oct. 1, officers responded to a shooting in the 2700 block of Britton Avenue. 

The initial investigation found a man and woman were shot outside a home in the 3400 block of Britton Ave. DPD says the two victims fled in a vehicle, but crashed into a parked vehicle in the 2700 block of Britton Ave., flipping the car.

In surveillance video, DPD says a white SUV is seen approaching the wrecked car. 

The suspect, who police have identified as 30-year-old Omar Hernandez, is seen getting out of the passenger side of the SUV.
