3 Angles of deadly ICE shooting in Minneapolis

Multiple witness videos are coming out showing the January 24, 2026 shooting death of a protester by immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. What we know is based on video footage and press releases of information, so we will try to stick to that without making assumptions. As of now, we understand a 37-year-old Minneapolis man, identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive care nurse by trade, was shot and killed by federal agents during a confrontation that resulted into a physical struggle just before the shooting occurred. Before the shooting, Pretti can be seen video recording agents and attempting to direct traffic. The officers push Pretti and at least two others out of the lane of traffic. One of the officers pepper sprayed Petti, at which point, the wrestling match ensued. Reports indicate that Pretti was legally armed at the time the confrontation began, although it is unclear if he was armed at the time of the shooting or if he made any threatening gestures with the weapon or fired it. Unverified internet analyses are claiming that one of the officers can be seen disarming and walking away with Pretti's pistol just prior to the shooting, which does look convincing, yet, we cannot confirm that's actually what happened based on the footage provided.
