Family of Alex Pretti speaks out in exclusive interview: 'They murdered our child'
Alex Pretti, an American citizen and ICU nurse for the Department of Veterans Affairs, was shot and killed on Jan. 24 in Minneapolis.
The family of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old American citizen and ICU nurse, has spoken out in an exclusive interview after his murder at the hands of federal officers. On January 24, Pretti was shot and killed by two federal immigration officers in Minneapolis, roughly two weeks after another U.S. citizen, Renee Good, was also shot and killed by an ICE officer during Operation Metro Surge.
The family wants accountability and justice for their son's killing, which they believe was unjustified. In the interview with George Stephanopoulos, Alex's father Michael Pretti said his son was an ICU nurse for the Department of Veterans Affairs and that he cared deeply about his community. The family found out about the shooting while watching the news, and they are demanding answers and an official release of the names of the agents who shot their son.
