She can be heard saying, ‘I called you to help me but you killed my brother’, through tears.
The shooting occurred at a busy public shopping centre around 30 miles east of San Diego at around 2pm.
Officers told NBC San Diego Colango was ‘acting erratically and failed to comply’.
The force declined to release information on what Colango was actually doing or how he provoked such an extreme response.
El Cajon Police Chief Jeff Davies later told a press conference that Colango pulled an object from his pocket, though he acknowledged the object was not a weapon.
Dozens of activists gathered at the scene of the shooting before the police confirmed the fatality.

El Cajon police said they ‘would like to assure the community that a complete and thorough investigation will be completed.’
Davies added the investigation would be ‘transparent’.
The fatal shooting by police comes just weeks after black men were shot and killed by officers in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and in Charlotte, North Carolina.
