Overview
- Alex Pretti was fatally shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Jan. 24, and federal authorities are leading the principal reviews.
- Pretti’s family called for a truly joint state–federal investigation and asked for the agents’ names plus release of body-camera footage and videos from Pretti’s phone.
- The Minnesota BCA said it remains committed to working with the FBI and the Department of Justice, yet no joint investigative plan has been finalized.
- The BCA’s Force Investigations Unit continues an independent probe, while the FBI told local media it has no updates on a possible joint arrangement.
- BCA leaders said federal teams withheld key materials and blocked state investigators at the scene; a court order the state obtained to preserve evidence was lifted by a federal judge a week later.
