Police say Mr Harris was armed and opened fired, but his father has described their account of events as "a bunch of lies".
The suspect fired at plainclothes detectives inside an unmarked SUV, who fired back, St Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said.
The gunmen "were criminals; they weren't protesters," he said, adding that the officers were not wearing body cameras - a major concern cited by protest groups. Four officers have been placed on administrative leave.
The man's father told the AP news agency that his son, a close friend of Brown, was shot between eight and 12 times.
