DALLAS — The Dallas Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect who allegedly shot and killed a woman after she and a man tried to drive away from an initially shooting involving the same parties.
DPD said officers responded to a shooting call in the 2700 block of Britton Avenue at about 11 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 1.
Investigators said the suspect initially shot at the man and woman in the 3400 block of Britton Avenue. The two victims left the scene in their car, but then crashed into a vehicle along the 2700 block of Britton, police said. The suspect, who followed the man and woman in a truck, then shot the woman while she was in the car after their collision, and then fled the scene, according to police.
The woman, later identified as 29-year-old Martha Perez Enriquez, died from her injuries. The man was taken to a hospital in critical condition.
On Wednesday, Oct. 11, DPD released surveillance video of the incident, showing the moment when a white SUV drove up near the crashed car. The suspect in the video has since been identified by police as 30-year-old Omar Hernandez, who can been seen in the footage getting out of the passenger side of the SUV.
The video then shows Hernandez walk around the victims’ vehicle before firing into the car multiple times, hitting Perez Enriquez. Hernandez then gets back into the passenger side of the SUV and leaves the scene, police said.
Hernandez is wanted for murder and aggravated assault-serious bodily injury, DPD said.
