The Killing of Harith Augustus

Directed by Forensic Architecture

When police shot and killed Harith Augustus not far from his South Shore barbershop, Chicago police called the incident a legitimate "split-second" decision. We unpack this fraction of a second into six different timescales, from milliseconds to years. Our investigation revealed multiple violations perpetrated by the Chicago police, including, not for the first time, the withholding of critical video evidence from the public.
