A woman who stood just feet away from the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti has come forward with a detailed eyewitness account that is intensifying scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement and challenging official claims made in the immediate aftermath of his death. Her testimony, recorded in a sworn affidavit, appears to confirm rumors that have been circulating online since the incident and raises serious questions about whether lethal force was used against an unarmed man.
Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse and community advocate, was shot and killed on Saturday, January 24, during a volatile confrontation involving federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. His death came less than a month after another fatal encounter in Minnesota, when Renee Good was killed during a separate enforcement operation. Together, the two incidents have heightened tensions across the state and fueled widespread anger, fear, and distrust toward federal authorities.
