Civil rights attorney John Burris told SFGATE that guard Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony should’ve been charged with manslaughter, and that he’ll be filing a wrongful death lawsuit in the “near future.”
The SF District Attorney’s Office also released surveillance footage, witness statements and other evidence used to make the decision, including a video that shows Anthony shooting and killing Brown after a scuffle. Brown, 24, was unarmed when he was killed at the 825 Market St. store on April 27.
According to the district attorney’s interpretation of video evidence, the testimony of several witnesses, and Anthony himself, Anthony killed Brown in self-defense. Anthony told investigators that Brown threatened to stab him during their initial altercation, which made him fear for his life. The report separately cites two witness interviews who said that Brown looked like he “wanted to fight” or “was trying to hit” Anthony, but neither corroborated hearing Brown threaten to stab Anthony.
“This is not a case where the young man was using force or trying to hurt anyone,” Burris added. “He was trying to get by, and he was confronted, tossed around.”
