The Medical Examiner's office on Sunday identified the man who was shot dead by a Chicago police officer Saturday night, and the police released footage of the shooting

Harith Augustus, 37, Block 7000 from South Merrill Avenue. in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, was pronounced dead at Jackson Park Hospital at 5:50 pm Saturday, according to a statement from the forensic pathologist's office. An autopsy was to be performed on Sunday.

Augustus was shot in a confrontation with officers around 5:30 pm. at 2098 E. 71st St., in the South Shore neighborhood, near the place where he worked at a barber shop, according to friend Antoine Howell, 42 years old.

In the police video, two police officers approach the suspect, who appears to be wearing a holster, as he stands by another officer. While an agent catches the suspect's wrist, the suspect moves away and runs. The video, which has all the faces blurred and no sound, stops on a photo of what appears to be a weapon on the suspect's hip. The shooting of the suspect is not shown in the video. Howard was still in the barbershop when he heard the shots. He stayed in the area for a few hours and then went to a party.

"I'm going to party and my friend has just been shot," Howell said.

At the party, Howell said that he was trying not to talk about the shooting or his friend.

"He is a calm person, he keeps to himself, he does not disturb anyone," Howell said.

Augustus would only speak to shop guests when he needed to, said Howell. He arrived at 9 am and left at 5 pm Howell said that he had not met any family member or his daughter. Augustus does not even like people taking pictures of him, Howell says.

Howell said that his family seemed to be the guys at the hair salon. They talked and laughed about sports – especially basketball.

"He was so calm and I opened it," Howell said. "And everyone at the shop was like, how did you do that?"

Howell stated that memorials are planned for the hair salon and the scene of the shooting.

Early Sunday afternoon, the hair salon was closed.
