The federal government told the San Francisco Board of Supervisors last month it’s deferring to the judgment of the California Attorney General’s office regarding an inquiry into San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins’ decision not to prosecute the killer of Banko Brown.
Brown was a 24-year-old unarmed unhoused Black trans man shot by a security guard outside a Market Street Walgreens in April. Community activists and some city officials had called on the justice department to review Jenkins’ handling of the case.
