On Thursday, it was reported that Mark O'Mara, the attorney who defended George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, would join Dunn's other attorney, Rusty Franklin, on the defense.
Surveillance video released by Lakeland Police shows Dunn shooting 50-year-old Cristobal Lopez on October 3. Dun was charged with second-degree murder last week and resigned on Monday from the Lakeland City Commission.
The Lakeland City Commissioners appointed former commissioner Don Selvage as a temporary commissioner to replace Michael Dunn during a meeting on Friday, October 26th. Selvage will hold the seat until a special election is held on January 15, 2019.
