The victim, whom court records identify as Antron Davis, was driven by another person to a second location after the shooting, where police attempted life-saving measures. Davis later died from his injuries.
According to previous reporting, Davis had been asked to leave the business after arguing with staff. Investigators said the argument continued outside, where Davis allegedly made threats and got into a vehicle. Authorities said King then took a firearm that was “kept on site for security” and shot Davis.
It remains unclear who was operating the business at the time of the shooting.
