Authorities tell News 25 a mobile woman was the one driving the vehicle.
She told police she and her 16 year old son were forced into the car at gun-point by the suspect.

“They knew him and he had hurt her other son, and she was worried about his condition so we called Mobile county and they in fact, had detectives at the scene and were trying to locate the son. They found the door open and found evidence of a struggle and a fight.”
