“At the time the shots were fired, (Cannon) was the only person standing at that corner,” according to a probable cause statement filed in the case that cited the surveillance video. \"Multiple plumes of smoke” were also seen coming from where Cannon was standing, the statement said, and police said they found shell casings at the spot.

Dorn's death came on a violent night in St. Louis in which numerous businesses were looted as protests over Floyd's death were simultaneously occurring. But police and prosecutors have released no evidence that Cannon participated in the protests.
Dorn's widow, Ann Dorn, a St. Louis Metropolitan Police officer, spoke at the Republican National Convention (RNC) last month in support of Trump's reelection, saying, “violence and destruction are not legitimate forms of protest. President Trump understands this.\"
David McAtee, 53, owner of a barbecue restaurant in Louisville, Kentucky, was shot dead by a member of the Kentucky National Guard while in his own business during a night of protests on June 1, authorities said.
McAtee, described as a \"pillar of our community\" by his family's attorney, was cooking in his restaurant, located miles from where protests were occurring in downtown Louisville over the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency medical technician fatally shot by police in her Louisville home. Police and National Guard troops responded to reports of a crowd gathering near McAtee's eatery in violation of a curfew, said J. Michael Brown, secretary of the state's executive Cabinet, who released preliminary findings of an investigation.
At least one police officer was seen on a surveillance video released by police officials shooting pepper balls at the restaurant where McAtee was inside with other people, and investigators say they suspect McAtee responded by allegedly firing a gun in the direction of police and guardsmen, Brown said. One of the guardsmen, armed with a rifle, returned fire, hitting McAtee in the chest as he stood in a doorway, Brown said.
The shooting prompted Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer to fire police Chief Steve Conrad when he learned that the two police officers involved in the incident and who also returned fire failed to activate their body cameras.

No charges have been file in the case, which remains under investigation.
Federal agent Dave Patrick Underwood, 53, was killed and his partner was wounded during an ambush shooting on May 29 as he guarded a federal building in Oakland, California, during protests that erupted over Floyd's death, officials said.

Steven Carrillo, 32, an active-duty Air Force sergeant, and Richard Justus, 30, were arrested and charged with one count of federal murder and attempted murder, authorities said. Carrillo was also charged with murder in the June 6 shooting death of Santa Cruz County, California, Sheriff's Sgt. Damon Gutzwiller, 38.
Federal prosecutors allege Carrillo and Justus are linked to an emerging movement called \"boogaloo,\" a term used by far-right extremists to signify a coming civil war and/or fall of civilization, according to federal court documents.
Carrillo and Justus have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
During a speech at the RNC, Vice President Mike Pence invoked Underwood's name, saying the federal agent \"was shot and killed during the riots in Oakland\" without mentioning Carrillo and Justus' alleged involvement.
Prosecutors said Carrillo and Justus were not involved in the protests.
Italia Kelly was hanging out of a car window chanting for justice along with other protesters on May 31 in Davenport, Iowa, when a man fatally shot her, police said. The 22-year-old woman's family said they initially thought she was the target of a random shooting and her sister, Jasmine, said in a Facebook Live video shortly after the shooting, \"A protester shot my sister.\"
But when police arrested Parker Beltz, 21, and charged him with first-degree murder, Kelly's family said they immediately recognized him.
\"We were surprised. My other daughter, Italia’s sister, was best friends with him in middle school,\" Kelly's mother, Sharon Kelly, told ABC affiliate station WQAD-TV in Moline, Illinois. \"We have a lot of photos of him with Italia, with other members of the family, with friends that we consider family.\"
In a criminal complaint, Davenport police alleged Beltz committed the shooting \"with premeditation, malice aforethought and intent to kill\" and Kelly's mother said Italia had been in a dispute with Beltz over Facebook posts. Beltz has yet to enter a plea.
Barry Perkins was among a crowd of protesters who blocked a freeway in St. Louis, Missouri, on May 30 in a demonstration over George Floyd's death when some people who appeared to be involved in the civil unrest were recorded on cell-phone video looting a FedEx tractor-trailer rig bogged down in traffic, according to the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department.
Perkins, 29, was killed by the truck when the driver suddenly accelerated, dragging Perkins underneath his rig, according to police. The driver told police he was unaware he struck someone and police ruled the incident an accident.
An attorney for Perkins' family released a statement claiming Perkins was \"peacefully protesting the death of George Floyd and was not looting when he was dragged\" by the truck.
