BREAKING: David Dorn's murderer gets life without parole

The man who shot and killed a retired police captain who was trying to protect a pawn shop from looters will spend the rest of his life in prison.

A jury found Stephan Cannon, 26, guilty of first-degree murder in July. Judge Theresa Counts Burke sentenced him Wednesday to life in prison without parole.

5 On Your Side’s Christine Byers was in the courtroom during the sentencing and shared details on Twitter. Dorn’s daughter, Lisa Dorn, said he was “murdered by the type of young man my father tried to save.”
