ST. LOUIS — The suspects believed to be involved in the killing of retired St. Louis police captain David Dorn remain at large.

On Friday, city police posted video of security camera footage showing seven people — identified as “persons of interest” — who were involved in the looting of Lee’s Pawn and Jewelry, the New York Post reported.

Dorn was murdered in the early morning hours of June 2, after responding to a burglar alarm at the pawn shop. The city has been convulsed for days by riots and looting by protesters angry over the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
