Unlicensed guard Matthew Dolloff ‘who shot dead Navy vet at rally’ was Occupy protester and vocal far-Leftist, ex says
THE ex-girlfriend of an unlicensed security guard who allegedly shot and killed a Navy veteran at a rally has claimed he was an Occupy protester and shared far-left opinions online.
Matthew Dolloff, 30, shot dead Lee Keltner at a pro-police Patriot Muster event in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, police said.
The photos appear to show Keltner slapping Dolloff in the face before they back away from one another.
In the next image, Dolloff can be seen shooting at Keltner as the protestor fires a cloud of pepper spray at Dolloff.
Keltner, 49, was a Navy veteran who ran a hat-making business in the Denver area for many years, his son, Johnathon Keltner, told the Post said.
Johnathon Keltner said: “He wasn’t a part of any group.
“He was there to rally for the police department and he’d been down there before rallying for the police department.”
Dolloff remained in jail Monday without bond on suspicion of first-degree murder in the shooting, jail records show.
At least three other people have been shot in protests in Colorado this year.
