A Missouri jury found Stephan Cannon, the 26-year-old accused of gunning down retired St. Louis Police Capt. David Dorn during a night of looting and rioting in June 2020, guilty on all counts Wednesday.
"Justice has been served," his family told reporters outside the courthouse in videos posted online.
The trial had gone to the jury just hours earlier when the defense rested its case.
Court records show jurors twice asked the court questions before returning the verdict after just over 3 hours of deliberations.
Cannon was charged with first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary, stealing $750 or more, unlawful possession of a firearm and three counts of armed criminal action – all felonies.
Dorn, 77, was responding to a burglar alarm at a friend’s pawn shop when he encountered a group of looters outside.
Cannon, the man who prosecutors say shot Dorn dead and left him on the sidewalk, was among a half dozen men charged in connection with the incident.
