It was the third shooting involving federal agents in Minnesota during January 2026, including when Renee Good was fatally shot by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on Jan. 7.

The Minnesota BCA was informed on Feb. 14 that the FBI will not provide them with any evidence in the case, despite cooperation on previous investigations.

The BCA says it will continue to investigate the shootings despite the lack of cooperation from the federal government.

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has said she expects to have enough evidence to make a charging decision in Pretti’s shooting along with the Good and Sosa-Celis shootings. However, there are questions about whether a state case against a federal officer would survive the courts due to the Supremacy clause in the constitution.

Thousands of riders participated in a community bike ride to honor Alex Pretti a week after he was killed.
