A unlicensed “security guard” who shot and killed a conservative demonstrator at Denver’s Civic Center in October has been bailed out of jail on a $500,000 bond.
Matthew Dolloff shot and killed a man while unlawfully acting as an unlicensed “security guard” for Denver NBC affiliate 9NEWS. The shooting, which occurred during dueling counter-demonstrations between ANTIFA and Patriot Prayer, was entirely captured on video- with Dolloff shooting hatmaker and Navy veteran Lee Keltner after intervening in a verbal dispute between Keltner and a BLM protestor.
A Denver judge had earlier refused to lower the bond on Dolloff- citing what he saw as overwhelming evidence suggesting Dolloff had no legitimate argument of self-defense when he shot and killed Keltner. The judge’s assessment that a conviction was likely makes it somewhat surprising that Dolloff- who is charged with second-degree murder in the killing of Keltner- was even granted bond at all.
