US EditionNBA figures weigh in on tensions in Minnesota after Alex Pretti’s shooting
- On Jan. 25, 2026, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, was fatally shot by a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis during a targeted operation that began at 9:05 a.m., prompting multiple investigations.
- The operation followed an enforcement surge earlier this month and drew added scrutiny after the earlier killing of Renée Good earlier this month, while DHS said agents pursued an "illegal alien wanted for violent assault."
- But bystander footage reviewed by The Associated Press shows Pretti holding a phone with no visible weapon before an officer fired several shots into his back, while the Department of Homeland Security said Pretti approached officers with a 9 mm handgun and two magazines on Saturday.
- As new details emerge, the case is expected to remain central to the national debate over gun rights and protest safety, with Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina and groups urging the Justice Department for a thorough, impartial investigation.
- Observers drew comparisons to Kyle Rittenhouse, a resurfaced Charlie Kirk post has more than 1.2 million views, and President Donald Trump framed the incident as Democrat-fueled chaos.
