Ultimately, the story of Alex Pretti is a tragedy of conflicting realities. It is the story of a man whose life was spent in the pursuit of healing, ended by the very forces meant to maintain safety. As the city waits for the official findings of the Department of Justice and the local coroner’s office, the focus for Pretti’s family remains on the legacy of his character. They hope that the final image of Alex will not be the grainy, chaotic footage of a street-side shooting, but the memory of a man who believed that every person deserved a hand to hold in the dark. In a world increasingly divided by narrative, they are searching for a singular, undeniable truth: a clarity that honors the life he lived as much as it accounts for the way it ended.
