During the investigation, they were able to obtain surveillance video of the possible suspects and suspect vehicle.

Later that evening, at 11:30 p.m., an officer was flagged down at a gas station located at 3090 W. Cardinal in reference to an auto theft that had just occurred.

During that investigation, video was obtained that showed the same suspects and suspect vehicle from the homicide were also the suspects in the auto theft.

The victim from the auto theft was able to track the stolen vehicle, and officers intercepted it in the area of The Avenues.

Upon seeing patrol units, the vehicle fled for a short time before stopping at The Woodlands apartment complex at 3150 W. Cardinal. The stolen vehicle was occupied by five males, three of which fled on foot from the vehicle.
