The deceased is 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, who has been living in the U.S. since 2008, FBI Special Agent Dave Couvertier confirmed to MailOnline. The shooting happened just after midnight Wednesday at Todashev's apartment complex near Universal studios. Former FBI assistant director John Miller, who now works for CBS News, said the FBI was questioning Todashev at his apartment over his ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev when 'something went wrong.' The suspect reportedly turned violent and attacked the agent, who then fired his weapon and killed Todashev. 'The agent encountered the suspect while conducting official duties,' Couvertier said. We do not have any further details at this time. We expect to have more information later this morning. An FBI post-shooting incident review team has been dispatched from Washington, D.C. and is expected to arrive in Orlando within 24 hours, he said. Crime scene: Investigators stand outside the apartment complex where Todashev was fatally shot Blockade: Police officers block the entrance to Todashev's apartment complex The FBI has been investigating Todashev for the last month and has questioned him several times regarding his ties to 26-year-old Tsarnaev, who was killed by police in a shootout following the April 15 bombings. Tsarnaev's younger brother, Dzhokar, 19, has been charged in connection with the bombings and is being held at a prison medical center outside Boston. The FBI had questioned Todashev in the past regarding his ties to Tamerlan Tsarnaev (pictured) Khusn Taramiv, a friend of Todashev's, confirmed that he knew Tsarnaev and that Todashev had been in contact with him via phone or Skype about a week before the bombings. In an interview with Orlando television station WESH, he said that the two met while Todashev was living in Boston because they were both involved in mixed martial arts and boxing. Todashev 'wasn't like real close friends [with Tsarnaev], but he just happened to know him,' Taramov said. But he had no idea that they were up to something like that, like bombings and everything, you know what I mean? Taramiv says the FBI has been following him and Todashev since the bombings. He said that they were both being interviewed by agents late Monday before Todashev was killed. He claims his friend is innocent and that he has been targeted by authorities because he is a Muslim. 'He was just a Muslim - that was his mistake, I guess,' Taramiv, also a Muslim, told WESH. He said his friend is not an extremist and doesn't believe he owned a gun. Shortly before the shooting, Todashev 'had a bad feeling. He felt there's going to be a set-up against him,' Taramiv said. Friend: Todashev's friend, Khusn Taramiv, ays the FBI had been following him and Todashev since the bombings Todashev gave him phone numbers for his mother and father late Monday just in case he got 'locked up.' 'We had a feeling that a worse-case scenario, that something like [a shooting] is going to happen,' Taramiv told the television station. Todashev was arrested in an unrelated incident on May 5 for aggravated battery following a fight in a parking lot.
