Security guard cleared in Banko Brown shooting.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins declined to file charges against Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, a Walgreens security guard who shot and killed Banko Brown, a 24-year-old Black trans man. Jenkins stated that the evidence showed Anthony believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense. Brown's family and friends dispute this claim and say he was holding a receipt and a sandwich at the time of the shooting. The incident has sparked protests and calls for justice for Black trans lives.
