The FBI confirmed the incident was an agent-involved shooting.

"The FBI is reviewing an agent-involved shooting which occurred on May 28, 2026, at approximately 3:00 PM CT near Garfield Park in Chicago," the FBI said in a statement. "The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously. In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division. As this is an ongoing matter, we have no further details to provide."

The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office said a person died at the location around the time of the shooting. Their name has not been released.

CPD officials said Chicago police officers had initially responded to the location, and the FBI is now leading the investigation.

A neighbor told ABC7 dozens of shots were fired.

"He was just sitting in the car, and they tried to get in the car, and they couldn't get in the car. He came up through the sunroof and started spraying bullets, and they sprayed back at him," the neighbor said.

A suspect involved in the shooting was believed to be tied to a recent bank robbery, sources told ABC7. Police responded to reports of a violent crime taking place.

A man who didn't want to give his name told ABC7 he's the older brother of the man shot and killed by the FBI while sitting in a dark-colored SUV.

"I'm heartbroken. I mean, I don't know how to feel. I can't, don't go no feelings. I mean, like, police kill your brother. How would you feel?" the man said. "I don't know nothing about if he was tied with no bank robbery. If he was, that's something I didn't know about."

The shooting is under review by the FBI's Inspection Division.

No further information was immediately available.
