Honk News – Authorities have charged teenagers with gang affiliations as adults following an incident where they allegedly bound a classmate to a tree and inflicted serious injuries, according to police reports.
Authorities have charged two 17-year-olds as adults in connection with the shocking stabbing of a 14-year-old that occurred earlier this month in Snohomish County, Washington.
Milo Canales and Hayden Lusebrink face serious charges, including first-degree assault, first-degree robbery, and first-degree kidnapping.
On December 16, in Everett, Washington, a man was reportedly bound to a tree in Lions Park following his visit with a girl. According to court documents cited by FOX 13, two male suspects reportedly seized him while he was opening a door for the girl, who subsequently drove off.
The young man subsequently informed authorities that he believed the girl had orchestrated the situation, according to the report from the station.
Canales and Lusebrink face serious allegations involving the victim being forced to undress, restrained to a tree, and suffering multiple stab wounds to the abdomen.
The news station reported that the stabbing resulted in him being “disemboweled.”
Reports indicate that the victim was reportedly assaulted with a firearm by the assailants and had the letter “N” etched into his chest, symbolizing the presence of a local gang known as “Norte” or “Norteno.”
Authorities revealed that the individuals involved were driven by connections to gang activity and a confrontation that occurred with the victim at their educational institution.
The individual reported to authorities that he identified his attackers as classmates from his high school. The individual successfully freed himself and fled to a nearby residence seeking assistance.

He was transported to a medical facility and is anticipated to recover. Canales and Lusebrink were taken into custody just a day after the stabbing incident.
Canales has been granted bail, which is set at a substantial $1 million. Lusebrink’s bond was established at $300,000, allowing for his release.
According to reports from the station, Canales was reportedly discovered in possession of the victim’s bloodstained clothing.
He was already dealing with serious charges related to a robbery in Seattle from last month, but he managed to secure his release on bail earlier this month.
