ATLANTA — A man wanted for armed robbery was shot and killed by an Atlanta police officer, the FBI confirmed to Channel 2 Action News.
Channel 2's Christian Jennings learned the officer was assisting an FBI task force with serving a warrant near the Allen Hills apartments on Middleton Road in Atlanta.
The FBI is still investigating and told Jennings it is unclear at this time if the suspect had a gun. Atlanta police confirmed that no officers were injured.
The man's father identified him as 21-year-old Jimmy Atchison. His father said they want to know what happened before Atchison was shot and killed.
"I just want to know for sure if my nephew had a weapon and where was he shot at," Atchison's aunt Tammy Featherstone told Channel 2 Action News.

When the task force was serving the warrant, officials said Atkinson jumped out a window and ran into another apartment.
It was inside the second apartment where he was shot and killed, according to the FBI.
Witness Richard Woodley said he looked out his window just as Atchison hit the ground.
"He jumped up and you could hear one officer say to the other one, 'Get the Taser, get the Taser.' If they wanted to shoot him at that point in time, they could have because an officer had a gun that was drawn," Woodley said.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has taken over the officer-involved shooting investigation.
