Abdul-Baki Todashev holds a photo he claims is of his dead son Ibragim Todashev, during a news conference in Moscow, Russia, Thursday, May 30, 2013. The father of a Chechen immigrant killed in Florida while being interrogated by the FBI about his ties to a Boston Marathon bombings suspect says agents killed his son “execution style.” Abdul-Baki Todashev showed journalists 16 photographs on Thursday of his son, Ibragim, in the morgue with what he said were six gunshot wounds to his torso and one to the back of the head. He said the pictures were taken by his son’s friend Khusen Taramov. (AP)

This morning, WBUR featured the first part of a special investigation into the death of Ibragim Todashev . He was killed in his Florida home last May by an FBI agent while under questioning about his link to alleged Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev.

Todashev doesn't appear directly connected to the bombing, but rather to a gruesome 2011 triple murder in Waltham, which may have involved Tsarnaev.

But many questions remain about how and why law enforcement officers ended up shooting Todashev during that May interrogation.
