Tributes have poured in following the death of David Dorn, a 77-year-old black man and a retired police captain, who was shot and killed Tuesday by looters in St. Louis.

“He was a kind man, he was a great man, he is a missed man,” Diane Davis, who brought flowers to a memorial for Dorn, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

A sign at the memorial outside the shop where Dorn was killed read: “Y’all killed a black man because ‘they’ killed a black man??? Rest in peace.”

Dorn retired from the city police department in 2007 after nearly 40 years on the job, serving as the longtime deputy commander of the Bureau of Patrol Support, which oversees traffic and mounted patrols, commercial vehicles, and the tactical unit, the Post-Dispatch reported.

Dorn was a personal friend of the owner of a pawnshop that was being vandalized, his wife said. Dorn would frequently check on the shop whenever a safety alarm would go off.

A man was found guilty of murder in the fatal shooting of David Dorn, a former St. Louis police captain who was killed during the 2020 summer riots.

Stephen Cannon, 26, was convicted of first-degree murder, robbery, burglary, and three counts of armed criminal action.

"I'm very thankful to the jurors who saw the truth and all the evidence," Dorn's wife, Ann, said outside the courthouse, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. She added, "There's never going to be full closure, but it brings us peace."
