Stillwater police identified two suspects in connection with a September assault near Oklahoma State University’s campus, where a man was severely beaten.
The incident occurred on Sept. 5, just before midnight, where the city’s iconic Strip meets the university’s campus. Officers found the victim lying on the sidewalk with serious head injuries.
“Officers located him on scene and immediately began rendering aid to that victim. The victim was transported to a local hospital,” Lt. TJ Low with the Stillwater Police Department said.
A witness told police the victim had beaten on his car window but did not engage with him. Shortly after, three other men approached and began attacking the victim, including stomping on his head.
“We posted on Facebook the photos of the suspect we were looking for. We were able to identify the two suspects involved in this case,” Low said.

Investigators identified two of the men involved but are still working to contact one of the suspects.
“Investigators still need to reach out to one of the suspects involved to get their side of the story,” Low said.
In the meantime, police are urging students to be cautious when visiting the Strip.
“Be aware when you’re outside on the Strip. We know students are out drinking alcohol. Just be mindful if you’re out with friends. Just take care of one another,” Low said.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains active.
