Description:

A federal immigration agent shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis man Saturday, the second such fatal shooting this month, inflaming a state on edge after the shooting death of Renee Good and a series of high-profile detentions, including of children.

The man killed, identified by family as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was an intensive care nurse.

“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” his father, Michael Pretti, told The Associated Press. “He felt that doing the protesting was a way to express that, you know, his care for others."

Like the aftermath of Good’s death, the circumstances around Pretti’s final moments were caught on multiple eyewitness videos and quickly devolved into dueling narratives between immigration officials and state and local leaders about whether the actions of the federal agent were justified.
