Another person, 24-year-old Antony Andrade, exited the Ford pickup and entered the victim's vehicle, then fled the scene.

The victim's phone was still in her vehicle, which allowed her to track her vehicle with GPS. She then provided the location to the sheriff's office.

The victim's vehicle was recovered at the intersection of W Hillsborough Ave. and Elliott Drive. Andrade was still in the car and was later arrested.

Detectives are still looking for the driver and passenger of the Ford pickup, as they were also involved in the carjacking.

The passenger was around 5'3, 130 pounds and was last seen wearing a purple tank top and blue jeans.

The vehicle was described as a lifted Ford F250 or F350 with black deadlock wheels.
