So many lives have been destroyed by recent events happening all over the country. We have all seen the devastating effects these actions can have on a community when an innocent person is killed. By now the news of the retired police captain David Dorn who was murdered last week in St. Louis last week has spread.
Dorn was a 77-year-old husband and father was defending his friend’s store from being destroyed when he was gunned down by looters. Someone then decided it would be a good idea to video him dying and put it on Facebook Live for his family and the whole world to see.
Some justice is being served as it is reported that the two criminals involved in this horrible act have been arrested.
KMOV reported,
A man has been charged with the murder of retired Captain David Dorn.
Officials said 24-year-old Stephan Cannon was charged with first-degree murder for the death of Dorn. The shooting happened at Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry on June 2 after a night of looting and violent rioting in St. Louis City.
Police said Dorn was found shot multiple times.
“[Dorn] was murdered by looters at a pawnshop. He was the type of brother that would’ve given his life to save them if he had to. Violence is not the answer, whether it’s a citizen or officer,” the Ethical Society of Police of St. Louis wrote after the murder.
Cannon was also charged with robbery, burglary, armed criminal action and felon in possession of a firearm.
Police said Cannon admitted he cut his hair to change his appearance after seeing surveillance video released by police.
The other individual involved is 27-year-old Jimmie Robinson who is being charged with burglary, armed criminal action, and theft. Others involved are expected to be caught and charged as well.
