AG to Review Security Guard Shooting Decision After Outcry Over Banko Brown Case

California Attorney General Rob Bonta will review security guard Michael Anthony's fatal shooting of Banko Brown following widespread criticism of the initial decision not to press charges.
Bonta announced he will reexamine San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' conclusion that Anthony was acting in self-defense when he shot Brown, a 24-year-old Black transgender man, during an alleged shoplifting incident at a local Walgreens.
Jenkins released security camera footage of the shooting and said evidence "clearly shows" Anthony acted to protect himself, but her determination sparked public outrage and calls for further review.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a resolution formally requesting that Bonta and the U.S. Department of Justice examine Jenkins' decision in the high-profile case.
Brown's family has said they plan to file a lawsuit over the killing as questions remain about the rules of engagement for security guards and the handling of the investigation.
