New video captures Pretti in tense clash with federal agents before his death

A newly released video shows 37-year-old Alex Pretti in a confrontation with federal immigration officers on a Minneapolis street 11 days before he was fatally shot by agents during a separate encounter. The clip, posted by The News Movement and verified by BBC News, depicts Pretti kicking a government SUV, with a handgun visible in his waistband, and officers deploying irritants as bystanders film. A DHS official said investigators are examining the video, and other footage shows a man resembling Pretti in similar clothing. Pretti’s family says the earlier incident does not justify his death at the hands of ICE/CBP on Jan. 24, during a protest against immigration enforcement. CBS News notes two CBP agents fired their weapons in the later encounter and were placed on leave.
