The banging thunders through Joe Riley s house.
Boom, boom, boom. Riley has no clue who it could be. His wife and kids are relaxing in the other room as he opens the front door. Two detectives are outside. What s going on? Riley asks. The Spokane County sheriff s detectives tell him why they re there. It s Jan. 2, 2020, four days after a brutal assault left a man unconscious in a pool of blood outside Ichabod s East, a bar in Spokane Valley. Daniel Jarman, 40, would die from the beating, and the attacker fled into the night before police arrived. Days later, two women would tell detectives they figured out who was responsible for the vicious attack: Joe Riley, a guy who owns a tattoo shop at the Valley mall.
