US EditionFederal Agents Who Shot Alex Pretti Identified: Report
Federal immigration agents Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez were identified as shooters in the fatal Jan. 24 Minneapolis protest shooting of Alex Pretti, sparking protests and investigations.
- ProPublica published government records showing Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez fired on and fatally shot Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse, on Jan. 24.
- Assigned to Operation Metro Surge, the agents were part of an immigration enforcement dragnet launched in December, and the Department of Homeland Security said they were placed on leave after the Jan. 24 shooting.
- According to footage and reports, bystander videos show Pretti holding a phone while being pepper-sprayed, officials say two agents discharged Glock pistols, and footage shows approximately 10 shots fired.
- The Justice Department said Friday that its Civil Rights Division is investigating the shooting after protests, while state investigators allege federal obstruction and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz vowed a criminal probe.
- The secrecy has prompted ProPublica to argue that withholding agents' identities deprives the public of accountability, sparking protests and increased firearms training demand, according to officials and advocates.
