Family of Alex Pretti speaks out in exclusive interview: 'They murdered our child'
- Seven months after 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed by federal officers in Minneapolis, his family demanded "accountability" in an exclusive Good Morning America interview with co-anchor George Stephanopoulos.
- Eyewitness video from January 24 shows Pretti recording when an officer shoved a woman into him; officers then removed his legal firearm while he was on the ground before approximately 10 shots were fired.
- President Donald Trump called Pretti an "agitator" and "insurrectionist" after confrontation footage surfaced 11 days before the shooting; the killing occurred during "Operation Metro Surge," roughly two weeks after ICE officer shot Renee Good.
- Attorney Steve Schleicher told ABC News that a July 13 meeting with the U.S. Attorney "raised more questions than answers." The Department of Justice opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting.
- Micayla Pretti demanded the agents' names be officially released, while her mother Susan Pretti stated, "They murdered our child," emphasizing the family's right to be consulted meaningfully throughout the investigation.
