City official wants reconsideration of no charges in fatal shooting

State of play: Brown, who was both Black and transgender, died at a local hospital Thursday night after officers responded to reports of a shooting in the 800 block of Market Street and found Brown suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. An initial investigation found that a theft had occurred, police said.

• On Monday, Jenkins announced she would not pursue murder charges against Anthony "because of credible evidence of reasonable self-defense."
• During this week's Board of Supervisors meeting, Peskin said he would ask his fellow supervisors to urge Jenkins to reexamine her decision, saying, "This appears to be a manslaughter case to this non-attorney," the San Francisco Standard reports.
• Peskin's comments came after about two hours of public comment, where dozens of people spoke out against Jenkins' decision and the harsh realities facing LGBTQ+ people of color.

What they're saying: "This is not an anomaly," Steven Torres, who serves on the city's entertainment commission, said at the meeting.

• He added that queer and transgender people of color are "routinely harassed and targeted by hired security."

The other side: Jenkins said she evaluated the security footage and witness statements to see if there was a credible claim of self-defense.

• "We ultimately did not believe that we could prove beyond a reasonable doubt here that the security guard had committed murder or any other crime," she said during an interview with KPIX-5.
• In a separate statement, Jenkins said it was clear Anthony "believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense."

What to watch: Whether footage from the shooting is publicly released, and whether Jenkins will reconsider her decision.

• Jenkins did not respond to Axios' request for comment on Peskin's statements.
