ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 26-year-old man was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison for killing a retired St. Louis police captain as he tried to prevent the looting of a pawnshop during demonstrations of racial injustice two years ago.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the life sentence was mandatory after Stephan Cannon, of Glasgow Village, was convicted in July of first-degree murder in the death of 77-year-old David Dorn.
