Who was Alex Pretti, the nurse shot dead by federal agents in Minneapolis?

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old nurse, was shot dead by federal agents during an immigration raid in Minneapolis. His family and witnesses dispute claims by the Department of Homeland Security that he approached officers with a handgun and resisted arrest.

Videos show Pretti holding a phone and trying to help others as he was tackled. He was a lawful gun owner, and his family described him as compassionate, deeply affected by immigration policies. Pretti’s death adds to rising tensions over federal immigration actions in the city, which have led to protests and fatalities. His family seeks the truth about his death.
