Stephan Cannon, who was found guilty of murdering David Dorn, received a mandatory life sentence on top of another 30 years for other crimes he was convicted of last July.
Dorn, 77, attempted to stop lawlessness at this friend’s pawn shop in the Missouri city on June, 2, 2020 as violence was mixed in with raging racial justice protests in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
As Dorn approached the business, Cannon, 26, fired ten shots at him.
“He was murdered by the same type of gentleman my father tried to set an example for his entire life,” one of his daughters, Lisa Dorn, said in court, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
“Our father was a good cop, but more importantly, he was a good man.”
Cannon denied shooting Dorn Wednesday even as he apologized to the family for their loss.
His defense team planned to appeal.
