MINNEAPOLIS, MN (TNND) — A medical examiner has ruled that Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis nurse shot and killed by a federal agent last month, died by homicide.
The report from Dr. Andrew Baker was posted to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s public database. Baker’s report says Pretti died in the emergency room on Jan. 24 after being shot multiple times by federal agents.
Video of the shooting shows what appears to be Pretti recording federal agents on a phone and then attempting to help a woman who was pushed down by a federal agent.
The video then shows the agents surrounding Pretti before he was shot.
Initially, a division of the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI took the lead in the investigation surrounding the shooting.
A federal judge then ordered federal investigators on the day of the shooting to preserve the evidence they had collected after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and Hennepin County Attorney’s Office filed a suit against Trump administration officials.
