EL CAJON, Calif. --
The man fatally shot by police in suburban San Diego has been identified as Alfred Olango, a refugee from Uganda.
Agnes Hassan, originally from Sudan, said she spent time in a refugee camp with Olango.
She said they both suffered to get to the United States and described Olango as well-educated but mentally ill.
Olango's sister called police Tuesday afternoon and said he was acting erratically.
Two El Cajon officers who responded told him to raise his hands but police say instead Olango pulled something from his pocket and took what they described as a shooting stance.
One officer fired a Taser and the other shot Olango several times. Police later said Olango was unarmed.
Christopher Rice-Wilson, associated director of the civil rights group Alliance San Diego, questioned why one of the officers felt non-lethal force was appropriate while the other did not.
He was among those who identified Olango on Wednesday.

Protestors outside #ElCajon police dept want entire cellphone video of #AlfredOlango shooting released.
10:11 AM - 28 Sep 2016
Demonstrators listened to civil rights figures and chanted "no killer cops" and "black lives matter" during a peaceful protest outside the El Cajon Police Department headquarters.
The Rev. Shane Harris said the man's sister had called 911 to report her brother was acting out and made clear he had mental issues.
"There were real issues with his mental health and that was part of the conversation," Harris said in an interview.
One officer fired an electronic stun gun and another officer simultaneously fired his firearm several times, El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davis told reporters at a news conference late Tuesday night. Davis would not say what the object was, but acknowledged it was not a weapon.
Before police announced the death, dozens of protesters gathered at the shooting scene, with some claiming the man was shot with his hands raised. Police disputed that and produced a frame from a cellphone video taken by a witness that appeared to show the man in the "shooting stance" as two officers approached with weapons drawn.
The fatal shooting happened just weeks after black men were shot and killed by police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and in Charlotte, North Carolina, where violent protests broke out.
Candles and flowers were left Wednesday at the scene of the Tuesday afternoon shooting, near bloodstains on the pavement.
The man shot often hung around the strip mall and frequently seemed "agitated but he was never aggressive toward me," said Victor Hauer, who works at a nearby convenience store and sometimes bought the man food or gave him a few dollars.
The protest in El Cajon Tuesday was angry but peaceful. Several dozen people, most of them black, gathered and some cursed at officers guarding the scene. They chanted "black lives matter!" and "hands up, don't shoot!"
Davis urged the community to remain calm and said the investigation will be thorough.
"This will be transparent," he said. "This will be looked at by multiple sets of eyes, and not just ours."
El Cajon is about 15 miles northeast of San Diego and has a population of about 100,000.
It is 69 percent white and 6 percent black, according to 2010 census figures, and has become a home for many refugees fleeing Iraq and, more recently, Syria.
