A man was recently shot dead by a security guard at a Walgreens store.
According to reports from local media outlets, the man was bashed in more ways than one when he was accused of shoplifting at the store.
The store’s security guard took matters into his own hand and started to confront the accused shoplifter as he made his way outside.
Not only did he begin to abuse him both physically and emotionally, but he also opted to open fire on him, leaving him in a helpless situation. And that is what led to his sudden death, sources went on to confirm.
The news has spread widespread outrage in San Francisco where the incident arose as well as across the entire country. Moreover, local media outlets identified the victim as a 24-year-old Black trans man named Banko Brown.
He died as a result of his critical injuries that came from the gunshot wounds by the guard.
His family is now demanding justice as they feel this behavior is just not okay. Meanwhile, others were quick to speak about how it was beyond outrageous for the security guard to just abuse the victim, no matter what the accused crime had been.
“He was in no position to take another person’s life. I just want you all to know this”- the victim’s family mentioned.
The justice they are demanding comprises a death sentence being awarded to the security guard because their deceased loved one was accused of something that he had not done.
“He was only targeted because he was a black and a trans man. We want justice and will carry on with protests around the nation until we attain this”- the loved ones mentioned.
So many demonstrations are now taking place in the country as many people hope and pray that justice would be served soon.
