King, 43, of Pasadena.

Lt. Phlunté Riddle said the two are Devon Wesley Moore, 22, of Los Angeles, and Sabrina King (not related to the deceased), 18, of Compton. Both are being held without bail.

The pair were arrested and detained by the police along with two other persons of interest just hours after the lifeless body of the 43-year-old King was found lying in a pool of blood early morning on Wednesday in the 900 block of E. Washington Blvd., after receiving a call from concerned resident.
