TL;DR Summary

The San Francisco District Attorney's Office has decided not to file criminal charges against a Walgreens security guard accused of fatally shooting an alleged shoplifter last month. The decision was made due to insufficient evidence. The incident took place at a Walgreens in downtown San Francisco on April 27 just after 6:30 p.m. PT. The surveillance video purportedly shows the security guard stopping the alleged shoplifter, punching him repeatedly, and then shooting him in the chest as he tried to leave the store. The victim, Banko Brown, was pronounced dead at the hospital.
