Minnesota Accuses FBI of Withholding Evidence in Fatal Minneapolis Shootings

State investigators report unanswered FBI requests tied to two January deaths of U.S. citizens in Minneapolis.

Overview

  • Minnesota’s Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says the FBI has not shared physical evidence, interview materials, or internal reports in the Alex Pretti and Renée Good cases.
  • Prosecutors report that multiple requests to the FBI and the U.S. Justice Department have gone unanswered.
  • State authorities say they will continue their investigations without federal cooperation.
  • Published reports and video indicate no clear basis for self‑defense, with accounts that Pretti was disarmed before being shot and that Good was killed while attempting to drive away from a raid scene.
  • The killings prompted nationwide protests and criticism, and Border Patrol chief Tom Homan announced the withdrawal of thousands of federal agents from Minnesota.
