San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is facing public and political pressure to reexamine her decision not to charge a Walgreens security guard who allegedly shot and killed a man authorities said was shoplifting.
After a couple dozen in-person protestors and several remote participants called upon prosecutors to press charges in Banko Brown's killing, Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin said he would introduce a resolution formally asking Jenkins to reconsider filing charges.
On Monday, Jenkins announced that prosecutors wouldn't press charges against Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, the 33-year-old who was arrested for murder after police he said he shot and killed Brown on April 27"after a theft occurred." Garret Doty released from jail after Don Carmignani no-shows hearing Officials said Carmignani, who has denied the allegations, was unable to appear in court because of the injuries he sustained in the attack
The San Francisco Standard reported, citing a source with knowledge of the case, that Brown threatened to stab Anthony. Jenkins told KPIX that the only weapon found after the shooting was Anthony's gun, and Peskin told Mission Local that police told him that Brown was unarmed.
