Leon Dorsey

On August 12, 2008, Dorsey was led out of his cell to the death chamber, where he was strapped to the gurney and the officials got the lethal injection ready. The parents of Armstrong and Lindsey spectated the execution. Before death, Dorsey turned his head to the spectator room and said; "I love all y'all. I forgive all y'all. See y'all when you get there."

Dorsey stood trial in April 2000, 6 years after killing Armstrong and Lindsey. During the trial, the mother of Armstrong made a statement to Dorsey; "Our son was a gentle man, you were not. I believe you're an evil, vile creature. You didn't kill for survival, you killed for pleasure." In June 2000, Dorsey was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death.

In 1998, investigators reopened the case of the murders of Armstrong and Lindsey. They again questioned Dorsey at the prison, but he again said he had nothing to do with it. This time, however, investigators properly examined the footage that captured the killer entering and leaving the store. The footage was sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to see if they could conclude any new evidence that was previously overlooked. They estimated the killer's height was approximately the same as Dorsey’s height. This time when the FBI went to talk to him, Dorsey finally confessed to the murders of Armstrong and Lindsey.

This time, however, police tested his gun and the gun used to kill Suk Chon, and they were a match. Dorsey was arrested and confessed to the murder of Suk Chon, but maintained his innocence in the murders of Armstrong and Lindsey. In 1995, he pleaded guilty to the murder of Suk Chon, and was sentenced to 60 years in prison.

On the night of April 4, 1994, Dorsey entered a Blockbuster store in Dallas, where 20-year-old Brad Lindsey and 26-year-old James Armstrong were working. Dorsey forced the two into the back room, where he forced them to open the safe. When Armstrong tried to flee, Dorsey shot him, and then shot Lindsey, presumably to prevent a possible eyewitness. He then took over $400 from the register, leaving Armstrong and Lindsey to die. The perpetrator was caught on a surveillance camera entering the store, but police would not know who the killer was until much later.

On September 11, 1994, 51-year-old Hyon Suk Chon, a Korean convenience store worker working in Ellis county, was approached by Dorsey. He pulled out his gun and forced her into the back room, where instead of forcing her to open a safe, he shot her once in the back of the head, killing her.

Leon David Dorsey IV (November 17, 1975 – August 12, 2008) was an American serial killer who was executed in 2008 for the murders of two Blockbuster store employees. Dorsey murdered the two men and a Korean store clerk during a rampage in Texas in 1994. He confessed and was later given a death sentence. He was executed at the Huntsville Unit on August 12, 2008.
