PASADENA — Prosecutors have filed murder charges Friday against two of the four people arrested this week in connection with the slaying of a Pasadena barbershop owner, while the other two persons are being released, police said.
King E. King, 43, of Pasadena was found dead early Wednesday in a shared parking lot behind his barbershop on the 900 block of East Washington Avenue.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office filed murder charges with special circumstances involving robbery against Devon Westley Moore, 22, of Los Angeles, and Sabrina King, 18, of Compton, Lt. Phlunte Riddle said.
The D.A.’s office rejected filing charges against the other two individuals, Alfred Mayes, 22, of Pasadena and Michelle McGowan, 23, of Pasadena, citing insufficient evidence, she said. Mayes and McGowan are being released and are no longer considered persons of interest, she said.
King was killed during the course of a robbery, police said.
The special allegation of killing for the purpose of robbery potentially makes Moore and Sabrina King eligible for the death penalty, officials said. Prosecutors will decide at a later date whether to pursue the death penalty.
King King died from “multiple stab wounds of the neck,” according to Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.
Moore was identified incorrectly Thursday in a police press release as Devon Wesley.
Moore and Sabrina King were being held without bail.

King King’s battle on earth is over! He is resting, yet his soul is in God’s presence. This incident not only effected his family, but the defendant’s family. I pray for everyone! I forgive them for their poor judgement & actions. This is why we, as human beings, must stick closer to God! The devil is a deceiver & gives false delusions of success. Davon Westley Moore, 22 and Sabrina Octavia King, 18; had no idea their life was ending too… The only difference is their families don’t have to bury them. Their expenses will occur from a lifetime of collect calles, etc.
King King is deeply loved & missed!
