Here's the story from WFTV:

A friend of a man shot and killed by an FBI agent overnight said the victim was being questioned in connection to the Boston Marathon bombings. Khusen Taramov told WFTV the man's name was Ibragim Todashev, but the FBI has not confirmed that. "He had a ticket from New York, [and] from there, he was going to go back home. They were pushing him, saying, 'Stay, don't leave.' They said, 'We want to interview you one last time and talk to you a last time.' And he decided to stay, and today's interview was supposed to be the last time, and they said they were going to leave him alone," said the victim's friend, Khusen Taramov. ... Gunshots rang out just before midnight at the Windhover condominium complex near Kirkman Avenue and Vineland Road. In a brief statement, an FBI spokesperson confirmed that the shooting involved one of their agents. The FBI said their agent was conducting official duties when he opened fire on the man.

WESH had more on the supposed connection between Todashev and the Tsarnaev brothers, that being Todashev and Tamerlan knowing each other as both competed in MMA:

A friend of the suspect said his friend, 27-year-old Ibragim Todashev, was being investigated as part of the Boston bombings and knew bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev because both were MMA fighters. The man claims he and Todashev were interviewed by the FBI for nearly three hours on Tuesday.
