According to witness statements, Lewis made a U-turn on his bicycle, rode up to King with a smirk on his face, said "What up, cuz?" and shot him twice; one bullet lodged near his heart, and another entered near his lower back, according to the Star Tribune.
Police discovered that Lewis is a member of the Rolling 30s Bloods gang, according to the Tribune, and remains locked in the Hennepin County Jail on a $1 million bail.
King's sister, Latesha hayes, saw Lewis shoot King, according to the Tribune.
King had a few run-ins with the law, but he had just enrolled at Rochester Community and Technical College, according to Janessia Hayes, King's younger sister.
