Community members gathered outside the District Attorney's office on Wednesday, united in their demand for justice in the case of Banko Brown.
"Banko was a youth from San Francisco. He was only a year older than me. I didn't know him personally, but it's essential that youth voices are heard,"said Imari Keith, a program coordinator with Horizons Unlimited.
Surveillance footage from the store captured the moment when guard Michael Anthony confronted Brown at the door. A physical altercation ensued, with Brown shoving Anthony before attempting to leave. However, Brown turned back towards Anthony, prompting the guard to fire the fatal shot.
