According to the Advocate, the 24-year-old was fatally shot outside of a Walgreens in the Bay Area last month following an alleged shoplifting incident. Brown’s friends claim he wasn’t shoplifting, though Jenkins said that “both threats of force and physical force were used,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle. According to the Advocate, Jenkins initially declined to share whether Brown had a weapon, but it has since been confirmed that he was unarmed at the time of his death.

Despite being unarmed, Jenkins determined that “the evidence clearly shows that the suspect believed he was in mortal danger and acted in self-defense,” per The New York Times.
