The San Francisco District Attorney's Office has decided not to file charges against a man arrested in connection with a deadly shooting outside the Powell Street BART station last week, according to authorities.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said that the shooting may be a case of self-defense.
From the start of the investigation, authorities determined that the shooting death of 21-year-old Ataviayan Barfield was an isolated incident.Standing at the North Concord/Martinez BART station, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday announced the new state budget proposal includes over $5 billion for public transit statewide, possibly giving a much-needed boost to the cash-strapped BART.
Barfield was shot while on an escalator outside the Powell Station. He was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. A witness told KTVU that an argument between two people may have preceded the shooting. The witness said that the shooting victim had complimented a woman before a man accompanying her shot the victim.
