Harith Augustus walked briskly past several Chicago police officers, a bulge on his right side where he carried a holstered gun. The officers stopped him and attempted to search him, and within seconds the 37-year-old barber lay dying on the street.

New video released Thursday offers a more complete picture of how a street stop escalated within seconds into a deadly confrontation in the South Shore neighborhood on July 14. But questions remain about why the incident escalated so quickly. The only audio from the recordings comes after the shooting, so there is no account of the verbal exchange between the officers and Augustus.

Security video from surrounding businesses shows there was a heavy police presence on the 2000 block of East 71st Street that afternoon as part of a special foot patrol effort. Several officers milled around the block minutes before the shooting; they looked relaxed as they bantered with one another and shop employees. But as soon as Augustus walked by, they noticed the bulge on his hip and swung into action to confront him, the video shows.

As Chicago endures another violent summer, the Augustus shooting embodies much of the complexity, dysfunction and distrust that plagues relations between the police and the most troubled communities they’re assigned to protect. Augustus had a state license to own a gun but not one to carry it in public. Police tried to question him about the bulge on his hip but he resisted. Words failed, and within seconds the situation spun out of control. All of it unfolding in broad daylight with numerous witnesses and camera footage.

The various video and audio recordings released Thursday enlarge the public’s understanding of what happened on the sidewalk that day.

Once the officers caught up to Augustus, he appears to show some kind of ID to an officer while another officer approaches from behind, his gun drawn. A third officer attempts to grab Augustus’ right arm near the holstered gun, but Augustus pulls away. As he is fleeing, his arm appears to move toward the holstered gun. One of the officers, Dillan Halley, fires and Augustus spins and falls to the street.

Halley fired five shots, according to a report also released Thursday. He joined the department in August 2017.

In the hectic moments after the shooting, Halley can be heard incorrectly saying there were “shots fired at the police,” followed by a whispered expletive. As a sergeant arrives on the scene, he says Augustus “pulled a gun on me.”

Another officer, Megan Fleming, pulls him aside and asks, “You OK? You alright? Come here. You’re good. You’re good.”

“Breathe in, through your nose,” Fleming says, trying to calm him down.

“Why did he have to pull a gun out on us?” Halley asks.

“He was gonna shoot us,” Fleming says. “Look at me. You’re OK. You’re OK.”

“He pulled a gun on us,” Halley says.

“I know he did,” Fleming replies.

Meanwhile, an officer runs up to the body in the street, checks for a pulse and pulls a gun from the holster Augustus was wearing. In a body camera video, officers surround a motionless Augustus as a woman shouts, “I’m a nurse!”

“We need you to step back, ma’am,” one of the officers says.

The woman points toward Augustus and says, “It’s a body? No, I’m a nurse.” The woman walks on the sidewalk, apparently to get a better view of Augustus. “Ma’am, stay back,” an officer says. “Stay back.”

“Is he gone?” the woman asks.

It was not clear whether the woman was a nurse. Police, however, called for an ambulance.

A camera across train tracks captured the shooting and its aftermath from a distance. The footage shows police following Augustus. He’s stopped when one officer appears to try to grab him. Augustus spins away and takes off, running into the street and disappearing behind a police SUV. He returns on screen shortly afterward, stumbling several steps and appearing to grab at his body as he falls to the ground.

Two officers walk up to his prone body and appear to have their guns drawn. The camera zooms in on Augustus as he lays on the ground, not moving, and an officer kicks away what looks like an ammunition cartridge.

An autopsy found Augustus suffered gunshot wounds to the back of his head, left shoulder, chest and buttocks.

Also released Thursday was an 18-minute audio recording of the initial police radio traffic. When the first call came into dispatchers from officers on the scene, police sounded temporarily frantic about the number of people crowding the street.

“We’ve got shots fired by the police,” an officer can be heard saying. “We need more units over here.”

Police discuss stopping Metra trains from running on the nearby tracks, and crowd control quickly becomes an issue. “Let’s start pushing these people back,” an officer can be heard saying.

When the dispatcher asks for the identities of the officers involved, a supervisor snaps at her. “Stop asking for the names. Get the star numbers,” the woman says. “Quit asking for the names.”

In the first minutes, the officers can be heard asking for more help. “Get us units from another district.”

At 12 minutes into the recording, officers on the scene ask for another ambulance to be sent to 74th Street and Stony Island Avenue, and then at 14 minutes into the recording, officers say they are following an ambulance carrying the suspect to Jackson Park Hospital.

At 18 minutes into the recording, a supervisor says, “Things have calmed down, can you let every officer on the scene know to cut off their body camera?”

The dispatcher then gives the order.

Chicago's police oversight agency was ordered to release the new video Thursday morning. It includes footage from street surveillance cameras and cameras worn by three of the officers who approached Augustus.

Until Thursday, the city had released less than a minute of video from a camera worn by one of the officers. The snippet contained no sound, leaving viewers wondering what exchanges, if any, the officers and Augustus had seconds before the shooting. This latest batch of video leaves those questions unanswered because there is no audio in the first seconds of the encounter.

When the body-worn cameras are initially powered on, they record video only. Audio kicks in as soon as the officer double-taps a button on the camera and puts it into “event mode.” Department orders dictate that officers switch to event mode “at the beginning of an incident and will record the entire incident for all law-enforcement-related activities.” The order also notes that if “circumstances” prevent the activation at the start of an incident, the officer should do so “as soon as practical.”
