The fatal shooting which happened during the protest for George Floyd, was captured on Facebook Live, but has since been taken down. The video showed the 77-year-old’s body on the sidewalk bleeding as looters continued to go into and out of the store he was trying to protect.
Police announced on Twitter that they arrested and charged Stephen Cannon, 24, with first-degree murder, robbery, burglary, felon in possession of a firearm and three counts of armed criminal action. He was being held in jail with no bond. It was also reported that a second suspect, Jimmie Robinson, was charged with burglary, armed criminal action and stealing, according to the same Twitter thread. His bond was set at $30,000, cash-only.
Dorn’s wife Ann Marie Dorn told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he was a friend of the pawn shop’s owner and frequently checked on the business when alarms went off. He was remembered as a “loving man” with a personality that was “bigger than life.” He was also remembered as a respected officer who served 38 years on the force.
