Overview
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty filed Touhy demands for evidence in the Alex Pretti killing and the Julio Cesar Sosa-Celiz shooting, warning she will sue if the government does not comply by March 3.
- The FBI has formally rejected Minnesota’s request for access to Pretti-related materials, and a Feb. 17 deadline for evidence in the Renee Good case passed without any handover.
- Prosecutors say they are seeking the names of involved agents, recordings, statements, medical records, and physical items including firearms, cartridge casings, uniforms, and vehicle information.
- Despite federal noncooperation and reported scene access blocks, the BCA and county prosecutors continue independent investigations and have received more than 1,000 community submissions.
- Pretti was fatally shot Jan. 24 by a Border Patrol agent in south Minneapolis, and two ICE agents tied to the Sosa-Celiz stop are on leave over potential false testimony, according to county officials.
