The victim, Stephanie Woodyard, was leaving her shift as a bartender at Filippo's in the 400 block of South Conking Street in southeast Baltimore when King and another woman approached her with a gun and demanded her keys and purse.
When she fought back, King shot her at close range. She was able to run to a nearby restaurant to call for help.
She told WJZ last year she recognized the duo as some of her last customers of the night.
King and the other woman were arrested in South Carolina where they were staying with a relative.
He is set to be sentenced September 19.
