Washington ( CNN ) -- Justice Department civil rights prosecutors have concluded there was no wrongdoing in an FBI agent 's shooting of Ibragim Todashev , an associate of the alleged mastermind of the Boston Marathon bombing who was killed in a scuffle with agents during questioning , U.S. law enforcement officials familiar with the investigation said . The finding concurs with an FBI internal review of the shooting , which supported the agent 's account . It also matches what the Florida state attorney for Orange and Osceola counties has found in his investigation . Evidence reviewed includes photos of the agent showing his injuries , the officials said . The federal review is expected to be released next week , alongside the review by the state investigators . The Justice Department 's civil rights division routinely does `` color of law '' reviews of such shootings to look into whether there are any civil rights violations by federal agents . The shooting occurred on May 22 , 2013 , as Massachusetts state troopers , accompanied by FBI agents , questioned Todashev , 27 , in his apartment in an Orlando suburb , according to U.S. law enforcement officials . Massachusetts investigators were pursuing information about a grisly 2011 triple murder that they thought could have been tied to Todashev and Tamerlan Tsarnaev , who allegedly carried out the deadly bombing last April with his younger brother , Dzhokhar Tsarnaev . Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed as he and his brother confronted police in the days after the bombing . Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was later arrested and jailed . He 's awaiting trial . Todashev 's shooting has raised questions about the FBI 's handling of the matter , because any evidence he could have provided is now lost . Todashev 's family has disputed that he posed any threat to the law enforcement officers and agents in his apartment . `` My son was definitely unarmed , because he never had a gun , '' his father , Abdulbaki Todashev , told CNN in Moscow in a June 2013 interview . `` He could n't attack them or fight them ; he could n't do anything because even two men could easily handle him . '' U.S. law enforcement officials said Todashev made statements implicating himself and Tamerlan Tsarnaev in the murders . The FBI had interviewed Todashev before about the Marathon bombing because he was a friend who , like Tamerlan Tsarnaev , trained in martial arts , and the two were friends . He was cooperative , and the FBI did n't consider him to be involved . The subsequent questioning came at the request of Massachusetts investigators who had begun taking a new look at the killings outside of Boston in Waltham , Massachusetts . After several hours of questioning , U.S. law enforcement officials said he lunged at the agent .
Ibragim Todashev knew the alleged Boston Marathon bombings mastermind . He was killed in Florida in May 2013 while being questioned about a triple homicide . An FBI agent shot him ; U.S. law enforcement officials say he lunged at the agent . TL;DR A federal judge on Friday rejected an attempt by lawyers for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to block prosecutors from using his confession as evidence against him.
