Josh Harris said Jake was jumped late Saturday and was in an intensive care unit with a “cracked skull” and brain trauma.

The victim’s brother said Jake was beaten and then thrown out of a moving vehicle onto the side of the freeway. People in a car behind the suspects called 911 to get help.

Josh said Jake had gotten a ride home from a couple who had been at the Quil Ceda Creek Casino near Marysville, but it was unclear if that’s where Jake had met the couple and where the actual beating took place.

Josh said a man and a woman from Spokane are the suspects that Jake had identified and that the “word on the street” is that they had done such attacks before in which the victims were beaten and their money was stolen. He showed their pictures and named them in one of the two videos posted.

Josh Harris said he had met with detectives.

KIRO 7 News has not confirmed that the people named in one of the videos are suspects in the attack and are not yet showing the video or pictures containing their names and photos.

We are working to confirm the suspects’ names and the location of the crime.
