While being pursued by another vehicle as he was driving on Interstate 35 in Dallas, he stopped the car in front of a semi on the center lane. Kewon Dontrell White stopped his car too and approached Noble while he was in the car. Noble tried to retrieve a weapon but was unable to and ran south on the highway and White chased him. White shot Noble multiple times with an assault rifle before returning to his dark coloured vehicle. White fled in the car, believed to be a 2015 Chevrolet Camaro. Noble was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.[7]
