Killing of Alex Pretti

On January 24, 2026, Alex Pretti,[1][2] a 37-year-old American intensive care nurse, was shot and killed by United States Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This occurred amid widespread protests against a federal immigration crackdown, and followed the January 7 fatal shooting of Renée Good, also by federal officers. 


Video recordings of the incident showed Pretti filming law enforcement agents with his phone and directing traffic. He was subsequently pepper-sprayed and wrestled to the ground by about six federal agents, who then shot and killed him.[3][4][5] Bystander video verified and reviewed by Reuters appears to show an agent removing a gun from Pretti prior to the shooting.[6] A review by The New York Times of available video concluded that he was holding a cell phone in the moments just before the shooting, during which several agents fired at least ten shots at him while he was on the ground.[7]

Background

The incident was the third shooting by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis in three weeks. On January 7, a federal agent fatally shot Renée Good, an incident that set off protests that drew thousands.[8] The following week, a Venezuelan man, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, was shot in the leg by an immigration officer and survived.[9]

According to Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino, the federal agents involved in the shooting were conducting an operation to detain an undocumented immigrant with a "significant criminal history".[10] Minnesota court and Department of Corrections records contradicted Bovino's claim, no person of the name given by Bovino had any criminal history in Minnesota, only misdemeanor-level traffic offenses from more than a decade ago.[11]

A witness in the doughnut shop near the location of the incident told news outlets that a man entered the shop and the door was locked, denying federal agents entry. This reportedly caused federal agents to call for backup and


become aggressive toward observers, including Pretti.[12]

Alex Pretti

Alex Jeffrey Pretti of Minneapolis was a 37-year-old American citizen.[9][13][14] Born in Illinois,[15] Pretti was a 2006 graduate of Preble High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin.[16] He worked as a research scientist before attending the University of Minnesota, where he graduated in 2011, in order to become a registered nurse.[17][13] At the time of his death, Pretti held an active nursing license issued in 2021[18][19] and was an intensive care nurse at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs hospital in Minneapolis.[20][21][19] He was a member of the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), a union representing federal employees.[15][17]

According to local officials, Pretti was a lawful gun owner and had a Minnesota concealed carry permit.[17] Law enforcement reported that he had no serious criminal history; records searches turned up traffic tickets.[18] A neighbor interviewed by The New York Times said Pretti was "not a violent person".[22]

Pretti had participated in protests against the killing of Renée Good earlier in January 2026.[16] His father told reporters that Pretti had acknowledged warnings from his parents to be careful while protesting.[13][23]

Shooting

On January 24, 2026, at 09:05 CST,[9] Alex Pretti was shot multiple times by Border Patrol agents at the intersection of 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis.[8][9] A witness stated that ICE agents were attempting to enter a restaurant, but were refused.[24]

Videos of the incident showed Pretti recording agents. He then moved to the sidewalk and tried to help two people but was pepper-sprayed by an agent.[25] The Associated Press detailed that Pretti had embraced a person who had just been shoved by an agent. An agent then shoved Pretti, and the two fell back, still embracing.[26]

Several agents wrestled Pretti onto the sidewalk, one officer struck him with an object, and then ten shots were fired over a period of five seconds.[8][27] According to analysis by The New York Times, agents yelled that Pretti had a gun approximately eight seconds after Pretti had been pinned to the ground.[8] The Department of Homeland Security said that Pretti "approached" Border Patrol officers with a handgun, and an agent sprayed mace before firing defensive shots after attempting to disarm him.[9][28] Video of the incident showed Pretti's phone in his right hand and nothing in his left hand.[7][29] In a sworn testimony, two witnesses to the killing said that Pretti did not brandish his gun.[27] Multiple videos showed a federal agent pulling a gun from the scuffle matching the description later given by DHS, followed by two other federal agents using their guns to shoot Pretti.[7][29]

A woman who took a video of the killing testified that Pretti was not resisting agents and was instead focused on helping a woman who had been pushed to the ground. She said that DHS's account of events was wrong.[30] A second witness testified seeing Pretti yelling at agents but not attacking them or brandishing a weapon.[27]

Shortly after, some agents began performing chest compressions,[25] and medics attempted to revive Pretti. DHS stated that Pretti died on the scene.[31][32][9][26]

Minnesota Public Radio reported a statement from a witness to the shooting: "The gentleman I was standing next to was focused on helping people who were coming into Nicollet Avenue understand that they needed to take it slow and helping them get through. The ICE agents approached us, told us to 'back up, back up.' I'm not even sure why—we were helping them, if anything. And I got on the snow bank, and next thing I knew, they shot him."[33]

Another witness explained to CNN how the incident unfolded. The witness was in a doughnut shop when someone came into the shop with federal officers in pursuit. The officers could not enter the shop and called for backup; various community members contacted a "network for first responders" to assist. The witness said: "What I saw is that there was a lot of people, getting together trying to come and get the attention from the officers, and they managed to do it, but the way that the officers reacted when they saw these people, they started pushing them away and like being physical to them, and as they were being physical to this one lady in particular, she tried to look to somebody to grab onto, and it just happened to be this person who got shot."[12]

Shooters

Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino said an officer who shot Pretti had been serving with the Border Patrol for eight years and had "extensive training as a Range Safety Officer".[9][34]

Aftermath

  • Line of federal agents on Nicollet Avenue
  • Agents shooting at protesters with non-lethal weapons
  • Protests in Minneapolis under an hour after the killing of Pretti

Following the shooting, over 100 people assembled at the site of the incident to protest.[35] Onlookers called federal agents cowards and told them to go home. One officer mockingly responded "Boo hoo."[36] News about the shooting was transmitted across rapid response networks, including Signal group chats.[37] Federal agents fired tear gas and stun grenades at protesters.[38][9][39] At least one person was pepper-sprayed.[40] Two protesters were arrested after attempting to cross the police tape.[9][8] Protesters chanted "I smell Nazis".[41][39] Several witnesses were detained and taken to the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building.[9] Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials attempted to dismiss local police from the scene, which Minneapolis police chief Brian O'Hara refused.[9] Protesters blocked an intersection near the shooting.[9] Some restaurants along the street of the shooting offered coffee and opened their doors to protesters.[9] Protests were held in Seattle, Washington;[42] Portland, Oregon;[43] Durham, North Carolina;[44] Oak Park, Illinois, near Chicago;[45] and downtown Los Angeles.[46]

Hennepin County sheriff Dawanna Witt asked the National Guard for help at the Whipple Federal Building due to concerns about "potential for unrest" after the shooting.[9] Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey also submitted a request for the National Guard to support the local police.[47] Later the same day, January 24, Minnesota governor Tim Walz activated the state's National Guard.[48]

The National Basketball Association (NBA) game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors, originally scheduled for the same day in downtown Minneapolis, was postponed to the next day due to safety concerns.[49]

Investigation

Image shared by DHS of firearm it says Pretti carried.[50]

Mary Moriarty, the county attorney of Hennepin County, called for the scene to be secured by local law enforcement.[51] Moriarty later stated that her office was working alongside the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and that she expected federal authorities to let the bureau investigate the scene.[9] Hours after the shooting, three armored vehicles from the Federal Bureau of Investigation appeared at the scene of the incident.[52] According to Minneapolis Police Department chief Brian O'Hara, DHS officials blocked local police from accessing the scene,[53][9] even though the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension had a warrant signed by a judge enabling access.[54]

According to a Trump administration official who spoke to Axios, the man had a firearm that was recovered at the scene.[55] A DHS statement indicated the victim was carrying two magazines and no form of identification.[56][4][50] The Department of Homeland Security claimed that the man evidently wanted to "massacre law enforcement".[57] Minnesota officials have stated that Pretti had a lawful permit to carry a firearm.[57]

The Department of Justice initiated a federal investigation on the day of the shooting.[58]

Responses

Pretti family

Pretti's parents released a statement saying they were "heartbroken but also very angry". The statement continued "the sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting", and said: "Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed."[59] They urged people to push back against government claims about Pretti, saying "Please get the truth out about our son."[60]

Local

External videos
video icon News conference on the shooting held by Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey.[61]

Minnesota governor Tim Walz stated that he spoke to officials in the Trump administration after the shooting.[9][62] On social media, he called the shooting "sickening", said President Trump "must end this operation", and added "Minnesota has had it."[8] He also said Minnesotans are creating a "log of evidence" to prosecute federal agents.[9] Walz activated the Minnesota National Guard to assist local police at the request of the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office.[26][63] Minnesota senators Amy Klobuchar (D), a candidate in the gubernatorial election to succeed Walz,[64] and Tina Smith (D) condemned Immigration and Customs Enforcement's continued presence following the shooting.[65] Ilhan Omar, the US House representative for the district that includes all of Minneapolis, and Minnesota state senator Omar Fateh described the shooting as an "execution".[66]

National

White House

President Donald Trump was briefed on the shooting.[67] After threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act earlier in the month,[68] Trump accused Governor Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey of inciting insurrection with their criticism of ICE's operations in the state.[9] Vice President JD Vance blamed local officials for ignoring requests from ICE.[69]

Hours after the shooting, before any investigation had occurred, top White House advisor Stephen Miller claimed without evidence that Pretti was a "domestic terrorist" who had "tried to assassinate federal law enforcement".[56]

Law enforcement

Senior United States Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino stated in a press conference on the day of the shooting that the incident "looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement", and that "If you obstruct a law enforcement officer or assault a law enforcement officer, you are in violation of the law and will be arrested."[70]

Department of Justice

Attorney General Pam Bondi faulted Minnesota politicians and Minneapolis' sanctuary city policies for the shooting.[9]

First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli posted on Twitter: "If you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you. Don't do it!"[71] The gun-rights organizations National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America both criticized the comments. The National Rifle Association called these comments "dangerous and wrong" and called for a full investigation.[72] Gun Owners of America responded by stating: "We condemn the untoward comments of U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli. Federal agents are not 'highly likely' to be 'legally justified' in 'shooting' concealed carry licensees who approach while lawfully carrying a firearm. The Second Amendment protects Americans' right to bear arms while protesting—a right the federal government must not infringe upon."[73]

Others

Multiple Democratic politicians in both federal and state governments condemned the shooting, describing the Trump administration as responsible. Some, such as US senator from Oregon Jeff Merkley and US representative from Oregon Maxine Dexter, decried the shooting as murder.[66][74][75]

Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D), speaking on behalf of the Democratic caucus, vowed to block any spending package that included funding for DHS. This escalated the risk of a government shutdown.[76]

Within a day of the shooting, anti-ICE protests began in multiple major US cities. The Guardian estimated that thousands demonstrated in New York City, and hundreds in San Francisco, Providence, and Minneapolis.[77]

Labor unions

The president of AFGE Professional Local 3669, of which Pretti was a member, said his death was "the direct result of an administration that has chosen reckless policy, inflammatory rhetoric, and manufactured crisis".[78] The American Nurses Association called for a "full, unencumbered investigation" to be released publicly.[15]

The National Border Patrol Council, the labor union representing United States Border Patrol agents, said rhetoric from politicians and media "have encouraged these reckless confrontations and attacks on our agents and officers".[79][80]
