Why wasn't this guy the guest of honor at a public hanging?
Q: What happened to the killer of Marc Dotson, who was trying to break up a fight at a 7-Eleven?
A: Christopher George Somkopulos, tried as an adult although he was only 16 when he killed Dotson, was convicted and sentenced to 25-years-to-life in prison in March 1998, according to Sacramento Superior Court records. Somkopulos is still in prison, records indicate.
Dotson, a clerk at a 7-Eleven convenience store at Gerber and French roads, was shot and killed on Aug. 6, 1996, after he tried to evict a group of loiterers from the store's parking lot. Somkopulos was arrested a day later by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, The Bee reported.
Witnesses told investigators Dotson asked the group to leave, but instead they got out of their cars and surrounded him.
An argument followed and the gunman shot Dotson once in the head. He was taken to UC Davis Medical Center, where he died.
Dotson, an Elk Grove High School graduate, had worked for 7-Eleven for about three months.
