The man who shot and killed retired St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn during the 2020 summer riots was sentenced to life in prison without parole on Wednesday.
In July, a jury found Stephan Cannon, 26, guilty of first-degree murder and five additional charges, including armed criminal action, first-degree robbery, two counts of armed criminal action, and first-degree burglary.
In addition to life in prison, Judge Theresa Counts Burke gave Cannon the maximum sentence on all five additional charges for a total of 30 years to be served consecutively.
On the evening of the shooting, Dorn was at Lee's Pawn Shop, trying to protect the establishment from looters and rioters who were "protesting" over the death of George Floyd.
Dorn's widow, Ann Wood-Dorn, stated that her husband "became a victim of the very thing he fought against."
Lisa Dorn, David Dorn's daughter, said he was "murdered by the type of young man my father tried to save."
