A red Nissan Maxima was seen leaving the scene when police arrived. That is when officers say they put out a broadcast.
Shortly afterward, the Maxima was found wrecked in the 2800 block of Kirby Parkway. The suspects then got out of the car and ran, police say. That is when a foot chase was initiated.
