ST. LOUIS – A retired police captain who died during a night of violent protests was trying to protect his friend's pawn shop, his widow said.
David Dorn's last moments were caught on video and apparently posted on Facebook Live, though the video has since been taken down.
He was killed by people who had broken into Lee’s Pawn & Jewelry, and his body found on the sidewalk at about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
No arrests have been made. His death came on a violent night in St. Louis, where four officers were shot, officers were pelted with rocks and fireworks, and 55 businesses were burglarized or damaged, including a convenience store that burned.
