“Where’s the money?” they shouted at Mr. Ogarro, according to officials’ account of the woman’s 911 calls.

Moments later, the officers saw a man who they later learned was Mr. Ogarro, 41, emerging from the back entrance with his hands up. He said there was not a problem.

It was not. In the next moments, a second man came out that door, carrying a loaded .38-caliber revolver and refusing an officer’s orders to freeze, the authorities said.

The man made some kind of move, the police said, and an officer, 30, fired a single bullet that tore through the man’s chest, killing him.

What was learned thereafter was that uniformed officers had not shot a robber, but another resident of the home, Duane Browne, 26, about 14 minutes after the first 911 call.

The police said Mr. Browne was the half-brother of Mr. Ogarro, the target of the robbery. The police said that while Mr. Ogarro did not tell them much about what had happened with the robbers, investigators found 11 bags of marijuana and a scale in his home.

The shooting, the first fatal one by New York City officers this year, sent ripples of outrage through the neighborhood. Mr. Browne’s relatives and others said he was innocent of wrongdoing and was merely coming to his brother’s aid. City Councilman Charles Barron, Democrat of Brooklyn, who spoke outside Mr. Ogarro’s home on Friday, said people had gone into Mr. Browne’s house “to do some harm” just before the shooting.
