Houston police have released a Snapchat video of a man shooting a semi-automatic weapon from the backseat of a moving car.

The video posted to the popular image-sharing app shows a man holding a red plastic cup and smoking before he fires multiple shots into the street.

The man, who has the username 'DabDaddyDono', wrote 'Gang gang who want smoke?' on the video.

Wanted: Houston police are searching for this man who they say fired a semi-automatic weapon from the backseat of a moving car

'The exact location of the shooting has not been determined at this time and it is believed to have occurred the last week of March or first week of April,' police said in a statement.

However, police believe the incident took place in northwest Houston as the suspect tagged his location on a picture posted shortly before the shooting video.

They hope releasing the video to the public will help them catch the man.

It appears police got a hold of several of the suspect's posts, as they have also released a photo of him posing with his friends from the same night.

It is not the first time Houston police are on the hunt for a Snapchat shooter.

Last year a couple was arrested after a video showing them taking a joy ride while firing the pistols was posted on the app by one of the suspects.

Sierra Tarbutton, 27, pleaded guilty to and was sentenced to five years in jail, as reported by Click 2 Houston. Her partner Michael Cuellar, 29, is now serving a six-year sentence for harassing a police officer after he was put on probation in 2016.

If you know anything about the suspect please contact police Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.
