The San Francisco District Attorney has announced that murder charges will not be filed against a Walgreens security guard in a fatal shooting that happened at a downtown San Francisco Walgreens.

District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced on Twitter on the evening of May 1: “The killing of Banko Brown was a tragedy & my heart breaks for his friends & family. After careful review, we are not pursuing murder charges at this time because of credible evidence of reasonable self-defense. It is my duty to follow the law & evidence wherever it may lead.”
