No law enforcement officers were injured.

The media gives his age as 18, 19, 20 and 21.

Take your pick.

Thanks, Johndoe2. Starting to appear he maybe was running guns? Info still on the weaker side? Seems very sketchy and now the hush put on oit by the feds for investigation this could take a couple years, possibly.

Detroit Police Chief James Craig said the man killed by the federal agent had outstanding warrants connected with the armed robbery of a pizza delivery driver.

UPDATE

Teria Kellom said it was her brother who was fatally shot. He was staying at his father's house when officers arrived saying they had a search warrant, she said.

Her father first told police his son wasn't there, Kellom said. She said she asked to see the search warrant and officers told her they would show her father the warrant after they left the home. Officers then went inside to search for her brother, Kellom said.

"The last thing I heard was 'Come out or I'll shoot.' " Kellom said. "They shot him 10 times. They shot him and then they put the handcuffs on him."

Craig said the suspect was wanted for the armed robbery of a pizza deliveryman, a felony firearm offense, and as an habitual offender.

"His father, who was at the scene, was also wanted for a non-violent felony ... a fraud case," Craig said. "We decided not to arrest him because of the circumstances. We can always pick him up later; we decided to let him properly grieve for his son."

Several police cars and caution tape blocked off Evergreen at West Chicago on the otherwise busy street with vinyl sided bungalows.

One man in the crowd yelled: "The (ICE agent) shot that guy for no reason."

Craig told him: "We're going to interview all the witnesses. I can't say what happened."

Craig said the federal agent involved in the shooting is African American.

After the incident, Craig told The News members of the crowd had expressed concerns about controversial officer-related shootings nationally.

"They had some issues about police-involved shootings in other parts of the country," Craig said. "Just by talking to them, they calmed down."

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General will investigate the incident, while Detroit Police conduct a criminal investigation, Craig said.

Detroit Police Commissioner Ricardo Moore, who represents District 7 where the shooting occurred, offered his condolences to the community and family of the man who was shot, and said he will ask for details about the task force.

"My heart goes out to the ... family and the community on this situation," Moore said in a written statement. "I would like to see the facts presented forthright, beginning with the task force Memorandum of Understanding."

Craig said he expects to hold a meeting with community residents within 48 hours.

No names have been officially released, although the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality put out statement identifying the victim of the shooting as Terrence Kellum.
