A man in Brooklyn was killed by the police on Thursday night after uniformed officers responded to a call of a home invasion in East New York, according to law enforcement officials and neighborhood residents.
Specific details about fatal encounter, which occurred shortly after 10:30 p.m., were not immediately available.
But residents near the scene of the shooting, a building at 943 Schenck Avenue, raised questions about the shooting and claimed that the victim had been innocent of any wrongdoing.
The victim was identified by his mother, Alice Browne, as Duane Browne, 26, who lived in an apartment in the building with his girlfriend, Renita Ferdinand.
“He went downstairs and came back upstairs shot,” said Ms. Ferdinand.
Charles Barron, a city councilman, who was speaking at the scene on Friday morning, said people had gone into Mr. Browne’s house “to do some harm,” just before the shooting.
A law enforcement official said that uniformed officers from the 75th Precinct had responded to the address for a call of a “home invasion.”

Paul J. Browne, a spokesman for the Police Department, said Mr. Browne (no relation to the spokesman) was armed, refused orders to drop his weapon and made a move that suggested his intention to fire. At that point, an officer fired once at Mr. Browne hitting him in the chest.
The police recovered an illegal gun at the scene. A law enforcement official said the weapon was a .38-caliber handgun. The official said the only bullets fired in the incident came from the police.
The 75th Precinct is where Officer Peter J. Figoski was fatally shot last month as he arrived as part of a backup team to officers responding to a call of a burglary in progress at a basement home at 25 Pine Street, in East New York. In that case, the police said that an armed crew of four men was interrupted as they tried to rob a residence they believed was a base for a marijuana dealing, and that one of the men, Lamont Pride, opened fire.
Mr. Pride fled for several blocks, but was captured by Officer Figoski’s partner.
On Schenck Avenue, Alice Browne said that her son, who had a child, had graduated from Borough of Manhattan Community College and had worked at a pharmacy in a Rite Aid store, but that he had been laid off recently, and had been working odd construction jobs.
Another relative said he earned an associate’s degree in college. Relatives said that Duane Browne’s brother lived in the basement of the two-story residence.

Quando a polícia chegou, Ogarro relatou que estava ileso, mas não disse os ladrões haviam deixado ou seu irmão estava carregando uma arma.
