ST. LOUIS – A somber tribute to a man who once led the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department is taking place on Sunday.
The family of retired Captain David Dorn is holding a special memorial event to mark five years since his death.
On the morning of June 2, 2020, the 77-year-old responded to reports of looting during riots following the death of George Floyd.
He was shot and killed while trying to protect a friend’s business.
The shooter, Stephen Cannon, is now serving a life sentence without parole.
Sunday’s memorial will take place from noon to 2 p.m. at St. Louis Place Park on St. Louis Avenue. Two park benches will be dedicated to Dorn for his service.
