First-degree robbery warrants have been obtained against Devonte Debruce, 18, and Jaquille Crayton, 17, both of Birmingham. Both suspects are being transferred from the city jail to the Jefferson County jail.
After parking her car, the victim was approached by two black males, one armed with a handgun, demanding that she get out of the car.

Debruce and Crayton were taken into custody after a short pursuit.
