Sidney Dorsey's son shot while shooting dice
Sidney Dorsey Jr., the son of DeKalb County's corrupt former sheriff, was shot on Labor Day at a crowded apartment complex in southwest Atlanta.
Witnesses told police the younger Dorsey, 41, had been shooting dice Monday at 10:30 p.m. when he was robbed and shot in the right leg in a breezeway at Gordon Apartments on Fairburn Road, said Atlanta Police Officer James Polite.
Atlanta police are expected to release more details about the incident later today.
Dorsey Sr. is in prison for ordering the murder of his political rival, incoming Decal County Sheriff Derwin Brown, who had promised to clean up the corrupt department. Brown was gunned down in his driveway while taking his wife roses for her birthday on Dec. 15, 2000. He never took office.
Gunman Melvin Walker and accomplice David Ramsey, who both worked under Dorsey at the sheriff's department, also remain in prison serving life sentences for the assassination.
Dorsey Sr., who had maintained his innocence for years, was recently in the news after he summoned DeKalb prosecutors to admit he ordered the hit on Brown. However, he tried to downplay his role by saying that he changed his mind and had tried to call off the murder.
Sir, you are 41 years old, why are you shooting dice in the breezeway of an apartment complex?
