Dorn, who retired from the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department after 38 years on the force, was found at approximately 2:30 a.m. last Tuesday outside Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry where he was working as an occasional security guard.

According to police, surveillance footage shows Dorn approaching the pawn shop which had already been looted by Cannon and other men, when Cannon can be seen approaching the corner with a gun – shortly before Dorn was shot and left to die, bleeding on the sidewalk.
