After the shootings, Obinna took off with with his 3-month-old son in a 2008 white Honda Accord and was last seen going in the area of I-45 and Highway 105, deputies said.

Since the man didn’t come back, Corsicana police were alerted and learned he left in a white car, which matched the description of the vehicle Obinna was believed to have been driving.

At about 1:05 a.m., officers with the Ennis Police Department located Obinna’s white Honda and tried to stop him.

After a short chase, the Honda stopped in a parking lot, where officers said they heard one gunshot come from inside the car.

Police said they tried to save the suspect’s life and called for medical help, but he died at a Dallas hospital at about 5:20 a.m.

Our hearts are with the family affected by this tragic and horrific crime and we are working with the victims to receive support and assistance said police authorities.
