Prosecutors will not press charges against a security guard who shot and killed Banko Brown, who was suspected of shoplifting at a Walgreens in downtown San Francisco last month, the district attorney’s office announced Monday. The surveillance camera video released Monday shows Brown attempting to leave the store before the security guard, identified by police as Michael Anthony, stops him. Brown is held on the ground by the guard but released after about a minute, the video shows. Brown starts to leave but appears to turn around and move toward the guard who then shoots him, the video shows. “I’ve seen the tape and looked it over pretty closely and I believe this shooting death was unjustified,” he told CNN.
