[dropcap size=big]A[/dropcap] Walgreens security guard is facing a murder charge for the Dec. 2 shooting of Jonathan Hart in Hollywood, the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office said on Monday.
Hart, 21, was also known as Sky Young among locals in the Hollywood area. He was shot in an alleged shoplifting dispute by security guard Donald Vincent Ciota, at the Walgreens pharmacy at Sunset and Vine. The incident sparked anger among anti-police brutality activists and Black Lives Matter-Los Angeles.
Activists "occupied" the store earlier this month and called for a boycott of the pharmacy chain.
