San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins announced Monday she will not be filing charges against Michael Earl-Wayne Anthony, who police say shot and killed Brown inside a Walgreens on April 27 during an alleged shoplifting incident.
Jenkins cited the interview in the video player above, while explaining why she's declined to press charges in the case.
As part of the announcement, the DA's office publicly released a comprehensive report on its website including witness statements, a police interview with the security guard, redacted police report and surveillance video.
For the sake of transparency, ABC7 News has decided to post the unedited surveillance video of the fatal shooting in the video player below. We warn you the video is violent and may be difficult to watch.
The district attorney encouraged people to consider all of the evidence as her office has, and not to view the video alone.
Jenkins notes she had to decide whether or not she had sufficient evidence to prove this case to 12 jurors, in making a decision on whether to pursue charges.
"It was our conclusion that we did not have such evidence and that is why we have arrived at this decision at this time," she said.
