US EditionFBI not sharing evidence in Pretti shooting, Minnesota authorities say
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension vows to pursue legal avenues after FBI denies evidence access in three federal agent shootings, including the Jan. 24 death of nurse Alex Pretti.
- On Feb. 13, the Federal Bureau of Investigation formally notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension that it will not provide access to any information or evidence related to the Jan. 24 shooting of Alex Pretti.
- BCA investigators say they were denied access to the Nicollet Avenue crime scene despite a judicial warrant, and a restraining order was later lifted as the Department of Justice civil‑rights unit opened a review.
- Witness and bystander videos appear to show agents disarming Pretti, spraying and tackling him before gunfire, a sequence the Department of Homeland Security called resistance and Pretti's family called "sickening lies".
- Despite federal refusal, the Minnesota BCA says it will pursue all legal avenues and plans to request evidence later this week, while Mary Moriarty expects enough evidence for a charging decision.
- On Feb. 14, hundreds of flowers appeared at Alex Pretti memorial, and officials say the federal refusal is unprecedented, straining federal‑state law enforcement relations amid Operation Metro Surge.
