After the dispute, Carbajal left the bar. A few minutes later, officials said Carbajal returned to the business, walked up to Molina, who was sitting at the bar, and pointed a gun at his head.
A brief struggle occurred and then Carbajal shot Molina three times in the arm and leg, state attorneys said.
Carbajal fled the scene and was later arrested.
As a prison release reoffender, officials said Carbajal faces mandatory life in prison. He will be sentenced on Nov. 25.
Authorities said Molina has recovered from his injuries.
