Teretha Howard is scheduled to be arraigned July 20 in connection with Saturday’s shooting death of Katoya King, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.

The murder charge includes gun allegations.
King, 44, of Pasadena, was shot once about 1:45 a.m. Saturday in the 100 block of West Peoria Street and died at a hospital, according to the coroner’s office and Pasadena Police Department.
