Minneapolis left to decide future of streetside memorials to 2 people killed by federal officers
The city will engage the community to decide the future of memorials for two citizens killed by federal agents during the recent immigration enforcement, as visits and vigils continue.
- Minneapolis officials must now decide how to handle makeshift memorials for two U.S. citizens killed by federal agents last month, marked by flowers, signs and candlelight vigils.
- On Jan. 24, protesters used branches, police tape, candles, crosses, and stuffed animals to mark the Pretti site before tear gas dissipated, while a memorial for Good appeared within hours of her Jan. 7 killing.
- Traffic measures including shifted lanes and closed parking have protected the Pretti memorial on Eat Street, while at Good's residential site orange traffic cones create a narrow walkway watched by volunteers.
- City spokesperson Jess Olstad said the city is actively working on next steps, including continued community engagement regarding both memorials, while Ally Peters last week said it was too early to decide on permanence.
- As precedent, the George Floyd Square process indicates public grieving spots echo the memorial less than one mile from Good's killing, with construction set to begin this year after five years.
