San Francisco Supervisor Shamann Walton called District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' handling of the killing of Banko Brown, an alleged shoplifter shot by a Walgreens security guard, a 'contradiction.'
, an alleged shoplifter shot by a Walgreens security guard, a "contradiction."
"This appears to be a contradiction," Walton said in a statement Tuesday, adding that he hopes that Jenkins' "subsequent change of mind on May 8, does not compromise the prosecutorial integrity of the case."Activists held a rally on Market Street in San Francisco Monday afternoon at the spot where 24-year-old Banko Brown was shot and killed last Thursday evening. More than a hundred activists gathered at the Walgreens where Brown was shot dead.
Last Tuesday, Walton had sent a letter to Jenkins, asking for her office to publicly release video footage showing the circumstances around Brown's killing by Anthony who was working in the Walgreens store on 4th and Market streets. Walton also requested that she reconsider her decision not to charge the case.
"I hear and understand the concerns from people calling for transparency, but releasing any evidence before the investigation is complete could compromise the investigation and is unethical," the district attorney said in a news release on Monday.
