The driver was giving two people a ride when one of the passengers asked the driver to stop at a location short of the destination, according to authorities. The passenger threatened the driver with a firearm before stealing the vehicle.

Houston police later saw the car near Voss and Westheimer Road. A chase ensued until the suspects crashed into an apartment complex in the 9800 block of Meadowglen. The suspects took off on foot but were later caught by police.
