Treynae Walker and Frank Olveda, both 20 years old, were identified by police as the robbers.
The man said Walker pointed a handgun -- later discovered to be stolen -- to his chest, telling him, "give me your (expletive) or I'm gonna kill you (expletive)."
Walker and Olveda took off in his car after the man complied, giving them his car keys and cellphone, the report said.
Walker and Olveda led responding officers on a chase after the vehicle's OnStar, an in-vehicle safety and security system, provided a location to the San Antonio Police Department's EAGLE helicopter, according to the report.
Police said when OnStar remotely shut off the vehicle's engine near the 2700 block of Rigsby Avenue, Walker and Olveda jumped out, prompting a brief foot chase with SAPD officers and K-9 units.

Walker was wanted on charges of burglary habitation by force, which happened on separate incidents, according to online records.
Olveda was wanted on a charge of possession of a controlled substance penalty group 1, according to online records. Police said Olveda also had an active felony warrant out of Comal County.
