“The death of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis man killed by federal agents, has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said.”

February 1, 2026 update. Propublica identifies the two men who murdered Alex Pretti – Two CBP Agents Identified in Alex Pretti Shooting. The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez.

[Trigger Warning] There have been dozens of social media posts and articles written in the past two days about the brutal murder of 37 year of American Citizen Alex Pretti, an RN who worked at the VA in Minneapolis. This court filing, dated January 24, 2026, USDC, District of Minnesota, includes a redacted declaration of a licensed physician [he fears for his safety and remains anonymous in the filing] who witnessed the murder, and attempted to provide medical assistance to Mr. Pretti after he was beaten, whipped with a pepper sprayer cannister, and shot ten times in five seconds, at point black range, in the back and chest, by possibly four unidentified ‘agents.’ The doctor describes the scene, the actions of the agents, the lack of medical care provided to the victim, and his horror and distress during and subsequent to the murder. Please read this sworn first person testimony. Facts matter. Immediately after the murders of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Jeffrey Pretti, government spokesmen stated, falsely, that the two individuals were “domestic terrorists.” DHS has covered up and refused access to state and local investigation teams to forensic evidence connected to these murders, as well as to the identity of the murderers of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti. The family does not have possession of their son’s body for burial. Mr. Pretti was licensed to carry the gun he had with him, and did not at any time make an effort to use it, threaten or brandish the gun. He was using his cell phone to take video of agent brutality, and protecting two women, when he was seized, pepper sprayed in the face, thrown to the ground and beaten by up to 6 unidentified men. One or more of these men then murdered Pretti, execution style, having dragged his body into a semi upright position, whereupon they placed and discharged their weapons into his neck and chest, brutally and illegally killing him.

On the left is the text of an Affidavit by a witness to the shooting who also recorded the events from a distance or no more than five feet from the shooting. The are many postings of audio and video on social media on social accounts. Caveat – All the claims to date made by DHS and Trump Administration about the shooting are false. [Trigger Warning] Selected videos and information on the event are as follows…this is a developing story:
