Ibragim Todashev was shot dead in his Orlando apartment on May 22 while being questioned about his ties to one of the Boston bombing suspects and the 2011 murder of three men in Waltham, Massachusetts, who were found with their throats cut and marijuana strewn around the scene and over their bodies.
Initial reports said Todashev turned violent while being questioned, grabbed a knife and wounded the agent, who then shot him dead. A new version of events told to CNN by a U.S. government official includes new details such as:
A samurai sword was moved out of Todashev's reach as the questioning began.
The questioning went on for around 8 hours.
The agent allegedly shot Todashev after he overturned a table and lunged at the agent with a "long-handled object."
The agent fired at least seven bullets at Todashev in an attempt to stop.
Showing photos of Todashev's body at a press conference in Russia, his father questioned the FBI's version of events and accused the bureau of murdering his son.
