With help from the TSU police, they arrested one suspect. However, the second, who was armed, fled.
The chase eventually ended near the corner of Milby and Elgin, near the UH Athletic Complex. Police later determined the suspect had left the area. The suspect is still at large.
Authorities released a photo of the suspect to aid in the search:

According to police, two of the three vehicles involved in the chase were stolen in other carjackings, including one taken at gunpoint from a Houston victim.
Pasadena police are urging anyone who may know this man to call them.
The chase occurred just one day after a UH student reported being punched in the face during a carjacking in a parking lot at a nearby church:

Chaos outside the taco truck! A Houston family says gunmen tried carjacking them last night. They suspect they targeted them for the swangas on their vehicle. Their 4 young children were inside at the time. You won't believe what dad did next. That story is ahead on #abc13. pic.twitter.com/29cy4n0Fje
