King had helped move a washing machine into the upstairs of off-duty federal agent Wells' Springfield home earlier in the day. Wells paid King after the washer was moved in the afternoon but the man returned and said he lost his phone there. Wells looked but did not find the phone, then returned to the front door where King pulled a knife and attempted to rob Wells. Wells grabbed his gun and shot and killed King.
