The victim only found safety after walking over five miles through the barren desert until he found a gas station, where he called a friend to pick him up.
According to authorities, the teens were linked to the attack through a vehicle that traveled from Florida to Nevada beforehand, and visited key locations including the victim's apartment.
The vehicle was also reportedly tracked to a stop in Mississippi, where a gun owned by one of the suspect's family members was then seen in a social media post shared by one of the teens, police said.
Court records cited by 8NewsNow showed that the third, unidentified teenage suspect may have gone to high school with Fletcher and Ashraf in Florida and they were involved in 'disturbances' at the school.
In one such instance, the three teens 'were reported as swearing in English and Arabic', and Ashraf was 'observed shoulder checking a school resource officer' and screaming in the face of an assistant principal, records said.
In court this week, a Las Vegas judge set Fletcher's bail at $4 million, rejecting his attorney's request for him to serve house arrest.
Austin Fletcher and Belal Ashraf, both 16-year-olds from Florida, allegedly teamed up with another teenager to ambush a cryptocurrency millionaire and steal his fortune last November.
