Investigation
St. Louis
Police Commissioner John Hayden Jr. reported that no arrests were made
and there is an active investigation.
Crime
Stoppers offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest;
this amount has been raised to $56,700.
On June 5, St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department Homicide Section released surveillance footage to the public to expand clues and evidence in their investigation of David Dorn’s death. The video captured a total of seven suspects trespassing at Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry at 4123 Martin Luther King Drive. The footage was taken on June 2 from 2.13AM to 2.16AM. All suspects in the video had their faces concealed. Six wore masks and one had a white shirt wrapped around his face and head. At least two of the men were seen armed with handguns. One person pulled his handgun to target the entrance before joining the others. Another suspect had a cut on his left palm. The reward for additional information that could capture the criminals has been raised by $6,000 since the surveillance video’s release.
On June 7, a
24-year-old suspect named Stephan Cannon was arrested. He faces charges of
first-degree murder, robbery, and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Aftermath
A small
memorial was quickly set up outside the shop, with a handwritten sign stating;
"Y'all killed a black man because 'they' killed a black man??? Rest in
peace." St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden ordered all the departments
officers to wear black mourning bands on their police badges to honor Dorn.
Several GoFundMe
fundraisers quickly sprang up online, although none of them were endorsed by
family members. A Fundly
account has been endorsed by the family and they have asked for support of
organizations such as CrimeStoppers or BackStoppers.

Reactions
His widow, Ann Marie Dorn told reporters that her husband was a friend of the owner of the store and would routinely check on the business when the alarm would go off.
The former St. Louis County Police Chief, Tim Finch
called Dorn a "true public servant".
U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted, "Our highest respect to the family of David Dorn, a Great Police Captain from St. Louis, who was viciously shot and killed by despicable looters last night. We honor our police officers, perhaps more than ever before. Thank you!"
Missouri Governor Mike
Parson tweeted that Dorn and George
Floyd should not have died. He said the ensuing violence and criminal
activity needs to stop.
The Ethical Society of the Police, an organization
which supports black police officers in the United States, tweeted "(Dorn)
was murdered by looters at a pawnshop. He was the type of brother that would've
given his life to save them if he had to. Violence is not the answer, whether
it's a citizen or officer. RIP Captain!"

What makes these lives less important? Here
are some innocent African Americans who have been killed or are still fighting
for their lives as a result of these riots. Because all black lives matter
right? Enough is enough! Open your eyes people! - Evelyn

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle.
