MOSES LAKE - Grant County Sheriff's deputies are looking for two men they believe stabbed another man in the Upper Basin Homes near Moses Lake.

The stabbing was discovered after deputies were called to Samaritan Hospital to speak with Keith M. Ford, 29, of Moses Lake, who was the stabbing victim.

Ford said he was confronted by two Hispanic males on bicycles while he walked on Lybbert Drive NE near Airway Drive NE. During a physical clash, Ford felt a pain in his right arm, Sheriff Tom Jones said. It wasn't until later he realized he had two stab wounds, and he went to Samaritan.

According to Jones, deputies believe the incident to be gang-related. The two suspects said: "Hey homey, where you from? Do you bang?"

Ford's injuries were not life-threatening. He was treated and released.

The two suspects are Hispanic males. Both are described as being in their 20s.

One is of medium build with short black hair, wearing tan khaki pants and black-hooded sweatshirt. The other is of thin build and bald, wearing black pants and black-hooded sweatshirt.
