- Family and activists advocating for Banko Brown rallied in front of Manny's Monday night in the Mission, where District Attorney Brooke Jenkins cancelled a scheduled appearance.
"We want her to release these tapes because if it really was self-defense, where's the video," said Mystic Caesar. Brown was fatally shot by a security guard during a theft investigation at the Walgreens in Union Square last month. Advocates for Brown, including Recall Jenkins organizers hope more public pressure will influence the city's top prosecutor to release surveillance video of the deadly encounter.
"It's going to be meaningful to release the tapes because people are going to see that that shouldn't have happened," said Nancy Robles of the Party for Socialism and Liberation. Jenkins initially discharged the case citing lack of evidence, and says a final charging decision will be made when the investigation is complete. But earlier in the day, Jenkins issued a"Banko Brown's killing was a tragedy that has deeply impacted our city and our diverse communities," she said acknowledging the demands."My heart goes out to Banko's family and friends. There is no issue I take more seriously than when there is a life lost in our city.
"The investigation into the killing of Banko Brown is ongoing. 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."
