King County prosecutors charged two brothers and a woman with assault after they beat and shot a man in his Kirkland apartment.

A 19-year-old man was found bleeding heavily from his head and a gunshot wound in his right arm in the hallway outside of his apartment Jan. 6 on 450 Central Way in Kirkland, according to court documents. A bullet went through the victim right elbow, exited the bicep and grazed his head.

Bones in his arm were shattered but the bullet did not penetrate his skull.

According to a police report, the victim was assaulted by David Garcia, 21, Gabriel Garcia, 23, and Taylor Campbell, 18, after David Garcia accused him through heated conversations over Facebook Messenger leading up to the assault, of raping his girlfriend.

The victim told police that he arrived in Seattle late Jan. 5 at the Edgewater Hotel where he began drinking with Campbell, David Garcia's girlfriend and two others. He had previously been in a relationship with David Garcia's girlfriend.

Court records indicated that both were "extremely" drunk when they started engaging in a sexual encounter that the victim stated as consensual. He told police that when David Garcia's girlfriend woke up, she told him she couldn't remember what happened and became angry. He left the hotel in an Uber around 6:30 a.m. to his apartment after an argument between him, the girlfriend and Campbell.

One witness at the hotel was later interviewed and said she observed the girlfriend and the victim engaging in "what appeared to be a consensual romantic interlude together," according to a police report.

He and Campbell started exchanging hostile messages on Facebook at 6:57 a.m., according to a police report that indicated he allowed them to look through the messages.

"I will literally find you and kill you, so your (sic) better off doing it yourself before I get ahold of you," one message from Campbell said.

Messages between the victim and David Garcia began at 7:09 a.m., in which they agreed to fight at the victim's apartment.

Surveillance video showed David and Gabriel Garcia, Campbell and the girlfriend entering the complex and heading for his unit. Police said that one witness overheard David Garcia accusing the victim of "raping my girl."

After opening the door, the three charged with assault immediately began beating him, according to the police report. He was knocked to the ground with his hood pulled over his head and was shot in the arm, although police believe Gabriel Garcia was aiming for his head.

After the shot, surveillance showed the four running from the complex.

The investigation determined that the girlfriend led Campbell and the Garcia brothers to the apartment, according to the police report.

David Garcia was taken into custody Jan. 8, charged with first-degree assault, and released with a $250,000 bail on Tuesday.

Gabriel Garcia was booked into the King County jail in Kent Jan. 9, charged with first-degree assault with a $500,000 bail.

Campbell was booked into King County Correctional Facility Jan 9, charged with first-degree assault with a $250,000 bail.
