Not long after, at a stop sign on the same block, police said the men targeted a woman in a BMW. They got out of the carjacked Volvo, pointed a gun at the woman and then took off in her BMW, along with the Honda they first arrived in.

The offenders left the Volvo behind.

None of the victims were injured.

Police said the BMW was eventually found several miles away in an alley on 18th Street and Avers Avenue.
