A former mentor of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis man shot and killed by federal agents, described him as a warm and kind ICU nurse. Dr. Aasma Shaukat reflected on Pretti’s dedication to healthcare and his strong values, noting his support for protesting federal immigration enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security claims Pretti approached officers with a handgun, while videos suggest he was holding a cellphone and appeared defenseless at the time of the shooting. An investigation into his death is being led by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations with FBI assistance.
