Two men suspected of beating a transgender woman in downtown Spokane were arrested Tuesday, eight hours after police sought the public’s help to identify the attackers. The victim of the attack, Jacina Carla Scamahorn (pictured), said she was at Boots Bakery, 20 W. Main Ave., Friday night when she was beaten by two men, who broke bones in her face. The case was highlighted this week by Spokane’s Human Rights Commission. On Tuesday morning, Spokane police released pictures of suspects captured by surveillance cameras. The two men were arrested late Tuesday afternoon. Blaine Stum, the commission’s chairman, said although he remains concerned about the initial treatment of the victim by police, results of the investigation and the charges the suspects face indicate that police took the case seriously/Nina Culver, SR.
