Herrington is accused of stabbing King on Oct. 25 inside a Las Vegas apartment.

Jail records show Herrington was booked into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas on Friday.

After the stabbing, Herrington allegedly drove to Texas in King’s car.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that King’s friends gave officers photos from Herrington’s Snapchat, where he had reportedly posted multiple times wearing King’s unique jewelry and driving King’s car.

Metro Police said King owned multiple short-term rentals in Las Vegas and hired Herrington to clean them.

Investigators believe Herrington stabbed King with a steak knife found at the scene, then robbed the victim’s residence before driving to Texas.
