ST. LOUIS — Charges have been filed against a 24-year-old man who police believe fatally shot retired St. Louis police Capt. David Dorn, 77, on the sidewalk outside Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry early Tuesday morning.
Stephan Cannon, 24, of Glasgow Village, has been charged with first-degree murder. He is being held without bond.
As downtown St. Louis descended into violence and chaos Monday night into Tuesday morning, Dorn, also a retired municipal police chief, attempted to protect the pawn shop from looting. He was shot multiple times, and his killing was broadcast on Facebook Live.
According to a police probable cause statement, Cannon was seen on surveillance footage pulling up and entering the store with others, and then stealing several televisions. Once Dorn arrived at the store, Cannon walked toward the street corner with a gun in his hand. |
The truly sad thing about this death is that David Dorn had a stellar career as a law officer and also was heavily involved in helping disadvantaged youth. He was killed because a thug and his buddies wanted free tvs.
The media have barely mentioned his death while they make a martyr out of Floyd to promote the cause of police brutality and need for more social programs in crime ridden neighborhoods.
Anybody see the irony in that?
