Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, the security guard who shot and killed Banko Brown outside a Walgreens in San Francisco, will not be prosecuted, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins told KTVU in a one-on-one interview on Monday.
Surveillance video shows the deadly encounter between Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, an armed Walgreen security guard, and Banko Brown. Prosecutors declined to charge Anthony for the shooting, saying the guard had a strong self-defense argumentThe security guard who shot and killed alleged shoplifter Banko Brown outside a Walgreens in San Francisco will not be prosecuted, San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins told KTVU in an one-on-one interview on Monday.
According to surveillance video obtained by KTVU, Anthony can be seen trying to stop Brown as he tries to leave Walgreens with a bag of items. The video shows Anthony eventually letting Brown up off the floor. Brown is then seen grabbing the bag of items that he dropped during the fight. "The law does not require that somebody wait to exercise self-defense until there is a weapon coming towards them," Jenkins said. "What it evaluates is whether your fear in that moment of imminent harm is reasonable. At this point in time, the facts are that somebody has decided to become violent and aggressive with [Anthony] in order to retain stolen property, violent to the point that he’s having to use physical force to restrain him.
"The guards were also allowed to request receipts for merchandise, but in any event they were to actively work to retrieve or recover any stolen items once it was clear that the individual who concealed the items intended to leave the store without paying," the report found.
