Local government officials said Mohammad Anwar Khan, district administrative chief of Nad-e-Ali district, was shot dead on Tuesday.
Omar Zwak, a spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand, said Khan was killed in the ambush and that six police officers had been wounded in the attack.
The Taliban have a strong presence in Nad-e-Ali and use the district as a base to launch attacks elsewhere in the province.
