The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis on Saturday, Jan. 24, has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
The shooting follows the shooting death of Renee Good by an agent on Jan. 7 in south Minneapolis.
Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.
Reporters with the Minnesota Star Tribune reached two members of Pretti’s immediate family as the news was still spreading. His sister fought back sobs on the phone before hanging up.
At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man whose criminal record only showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.
Murdered. The word is murdered.
More like straight up executed.
Fatally shot. Fucking passive voice as always.
fatally shot
Held down and shot in the back.
Then as he lay there - (probably already dead) - shot like 7 more times.
That’s a murder!
“There will be justice for Minnesotans,” Walz added.
These are just empty, pacifying words unless you fucking do something Tim. Why should the people not take it upon themselves to defend their neighbors if you won’t do anything to help them? As far as I know you still haven’t done anything significant about Renee Good. Tell us how, exactly, is this going to be different?
Justice? There won’t even be an investigation!
I desperately want to be wrong.
Beside getting killed your and your family’s life is also respectively picked apart and judged not just in public but on the national and international stage.
Yep. Time to watch the conservative media and Trump explain he deserved it for not licking boots hard enough. Fuck all of them and the dimwits that nod along.
