Ibragim Todashev

Ibragim Abdulbakievich Todashev (Ибрагим Абдулбакиевич Тодашев; 22 September 1985 – 22 May 2013) was a Chechen-born former mixed martial artist, former amateur boxer and friend of Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He was shot dead at his apartment in Orlando, Florida, by FBI agent Aaron McFarlane on May 22, 2013, after being interviewed there for about eight hours. He had allegedly attacked the agent, with a pipe or stick, while writing a statement about the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon bombings and a triple homicide that took place in Waltham, Massachusetts, on September 11, 2011. The investigators involved in the incident said that Todashev had implicated both himself and Tsarnaev in the Waltham murders before he was killed. The FBI blocked the release of the autopsy report for approximately nine months, released inconsistent information about his death, and did not give the family access to some of the evidence, finally releasing Todashev's clothing and some other evidence nine years later.
