Witnesses Challenge Official Claims in Fatal Shooting of Alex Pretti
What happened on a Minneapolis street this weekend is now shaking public trust and raising urgent questions about the use of force by federal agents. Sworn testimony from witnesses directly challenges official claims about the killing of Alex Pretti, a 37 year old intensive care nurse who was shot and killed during a federal immigration operation.
According to those witnesses, Pretti was not threatening officers. He was not brandishing a gun. Instead, they say he was trying to help a woman who had been shoved to the ground by federal agents during a tense confrontation. These accounts, submitted under oath in federal court, stand in stark contrast to statements from senior government officials who initially described Pretti as a gunman and framed the shooting as self defense.
One of the witnesses filmed the incident from just a few feet away. She told the court she saw Pretti approach the agents with a camera, not a weapon and that he appeared focused on helping the woman rather than confronting officers. She described agents tackling Pretti, spraying chemical agents and then opening fire while he was on the ground. Her testimony paints a picture of chaos and fear and of a man shot multiple times while prone.

A second witness, a physician watching from a nearby apartment, offered a similar account. This doctor said Pretti was yelling but did not attack anyone or display a weapon. After the shooting, the physician tried to provide emergency medical care and said agents initially blocked access. When allowed through, the doctor reported multiple gunshot wounds and no signs that lifesaving efforts were underway.
Why does this matter. Because the gap between official statements and sworn eyewitness testimony strikes at the heart of accountability. This case is unfolding amid an aggressive federal immigration crackdown, already fueling protests and deep political division. Minneapolis has now seen multiple fatal encounters involving federal agents in a short span of time and each new incident intensifies public anger and fear.
There are also legal consequences ahead. A judge has ordered federal agencies to preserve evidence. Lawsuits are moving forward. Video footage is being analyzed frame by frame. And even gun rights groups aligned with the administration are urging restraint in assigning blame before investigations are complete.
At its core, this is about more than one man’s death. It is about truth, transparency and whether official power can be trusted when lives are lost in the street. As investigations continue, the pressure is growing for clear answers and independent oversight.
