According to the Clay County Sheriff’s Office, King got into an argument with the man the night before the shooting.
King left the home on Crystal Way in Orange Park, but returned later that night to get his belongings, Cook said.
That’s when another argument broke out between him and the man, according to Cook. King left the home again but returned through a screen patio later that day.
Cook said he shot through the sliding glass door, hitting the man twice.
King left the residence after the shooting, but deputies found him at the Greyhound station in downtown Jacksonville.
King was taken into custody on Thursday.
Cook said King told detectives that the man “disrespected” his mother and that’s what led to the shooting.
“I will continue to have zero violence for crime in Clay County, especially violent crime,” Cook said.
