Overview

  • The BCA says the FBI notified it on Feb. 13 that no information or evidence from the Jan. 24 shooting will be shared.
  • State requests for materials tied to the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good and the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis also remain unanswered.
  • BCA Superintendent Drew Evans called the stance concerning and unprecedented, pledging to continue independent probes and pursue legal access.
  • A DOJ civil rights review is open as state agents report they were blocked from the Pretti scene despite a judicial warrant and a brief evidence-preservation order was later lifted.
  • Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty plans a written demand for federal records, and reporting has identified the involved officers as Border Patrol Agent Jesus Ochoa and CBP Officer Raymundo Gutierrez.
