"There will be a temptation, as human beings, to only view the video footage of this incident and nothing else," Jenkins said at a press conference. "We are accustomed to seeing videos online, and that often is what captures our attention rather than going the extra step to look deeper." An image taken from surveillance video released by the San Francisco District Attorney's Office shows the moments before a Walgreens security guard fatally shot an alleged shoplifter on April 27, 2023.Law enforcement officers and paramedics arrived on the scene and, after providing first aid, transported Brown to San Francisco General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:50 p.m. PT, according to the police report.
When asked for comment on Tuesday, a Walgreens spokesperson told ABC News: "We are offering condolences to the victim's family during this difficult time. The safety of our patients, customers and team members is our top priority, and violence of any kind will not be tolerated in our stores."
