Minneapolis Marks One Month Since Alex Pretti’s Killing With Memorial March

State investigators report an FBI evidence cutoff, intensifying pressure for transparency.

Overview

  • Hundreds marched from Whittier Park to the Nicollet Avenue site where Pretti was killed, honoring his life and marking four weeks since the shooting.
  • The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the FBI will not share case evidence and called the refusal concerning and unprecedented, while pledging to continue its probe.
  • Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said she expects enough evidence to consider charges, noting unresolved constitutional questions about prosecuting federal officers.
  • Organizers pressed to end the federal immigration operation in Minnesota, halt local–federal cooperation, pursue accountability for recent deaths, enact an eviction moratorium, and cut ICE funding.
  • Participants cited a drawdown in federal presence since the shooting, with fewer than 500 agents remaining from a reported 3,000 at the peak, yet vowed to keep protesting as President Trump called for an honest investigation.
