Later that evening, St. Louis County Police located the carjacked vehicle. Brew was driving the vehicle and Sanders was in the front passenger seat. Police tried to perform a traffic stop, but Brew failed to pull over which resulted in a 15-mile police chase through St. Louis City.

The vehicle chase ended when Brew crashed into concrete barriers blocking a residential street to vehicular travel. Brew and Sanders then fled on foot and both were taken into custody.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the St. Louis County Police Department investigated this case. Assistant United States Attorney Jason Dunkel handled this case.
