Prosecutors Are Dropping Their Murder Case Against Security Guard Who Shot and Killed Conservative Demonstrator

Prosecutors in Denver, Colorado, are dropping their second-degree murder case against the unlicensed security guard who shot and killed a conservative demonstrator during dueling right- and left-leaning protests.

The attorney for defendant Matthew Dolloff, 32, said that prosecutors told him they plan to dismiss the case at a trial pre-trial conference set for March 21, according to The Denver Post.

“I’m just really happy for Matt and his family that the DA finally realized what we’d known all along,” Doug Richards said.

The family of Lee Keltner, 49, did not comment to the outlet.

The shooting happened amid dueling demonstrations on Oct. 10, 2020: a “Patriot Rally” and a “BLM-Antifa Soup Drive.” The Denver Post said that one of their photographers captured the confrontation. Keltner told a news producer for KUSA to put a camera away and said he was going to “[censored] him up.” Dolloff, who was providing security for KUSA that day, stepped between Keltner and the journalist. Keltner was holding a can of bear spray, and slapped Dolloff in the face. Dolloff pulled out a gun and shot Keltner, who was activating the bear spray.

3. This wasn't a Rittenhouse situation.

That security guard (regardless of his license) was hired to protect people - not closed businesses.

Journalists were/are getting more and more worried about magats’ hostility to anyone they deemed as part of the “fake news.” Now many news crews are hiring guards.

The dead jagoff was on video earlier in the day intimidating other journalists before he attacked this journalist.


I was recently wondering about this case. I looked last week and was pleasantly surprised the guard was out on bond. Iirc, he spent quite a bit of time in jail before he was able to bond out.

4. Well. About 10000 more and that's a good start.

Maybe they won’t be so quick with the bear spray.
