A statement from the family of Alex Pretti, obtained by CNN:
"We are heartbroken but also very angry.
Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.
The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpโs 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.
Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you."
UPDATE: Man Killed by Federal Agents Identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti
The man fatally shot by federal officers Friday morning in south Minneapolis has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, according to sources familiar with the investigation. At a news conference, Brian O'Hara said Pretti had no serious criminal history, with records showing only minor parking violations. Authorities said he was a lawful gun owner with a permit. State records indicate Pretti attended the University of Minnesota and was issued a nursing license in 2021 that remains active through March 2026.
The incident remains under investigation, while video shows he was disarmed before being shot to death.
We are aware of reports of another shooting involving federal law enforcement in the area of 26th Street W and Nicollet Ave. We are working to confirm additional details. We ask the public to remain calm and avoid the immediate area.
