District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said her office has declined to prosecute Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, 33, who fired at 24-year-old Banko Brown inside the Walgreens on Market street last Thursday.

Jenkins said that after reviewing security footage and witness statements, it was clear the security guard acted in self-defense when the suspect appeared to use force and violence to try and flee the store with merchandise.

“The evidence clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense,” Jenkis said in a statement. “The killing of Mr. Banko Brown on April 27, 2023 was a tragedy and my heart breaks for his friends and family.”
