Vancouver, Wash., police arrested a 22-year-old woman and are seeking a second suspect in the shooting of an Oregon man who walked more than a mile for help.

Joanna Speaks, of Vancouver, was booked into the Clark County jail on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping and robbery. Police are looking for Pedro Godinez Jr., a 19-year-old they consider armed and dangerous.

Authorities say the pair kidnapped a 37-year-old Oregon man at gunpoint early Wednesday and took him toward Vancouver Lake Park, where they shot him multiple times.

The pair drove off in the wounded man’s car while he walked more than a mile to a marina, knocking on the doors of house boats until someone called 911.

Police declined to release the victim’s name or say in which hospital he is recovering.
