Alex Pretti’s Shooting Death Ruled a Homicide, Medical Examiner Says
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner identified multiple gunshot wounds as the cause of death, prompting a Justice Department civil rights investigation and new body camera policies for agents.
- On Monday, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office ruled Alex Pretti's Jan. 24 Minneapolis death a homicide caused by multiple gunshot wounds from law enforcement officers.
- Homicide is a medical finding, not a legal determination, and the Justice Department has launched a civil rights investigation into the January 24 shooting amid Operation Metro Surge, while U.S. District Court Judge Katherine Menendez rejected a bid to halt the operation.
- A physician who rushed to the scene said agents shot Pretti seconds after disarming him and denied medical care, according to official accounts.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Monday that officers in Minneapolis will get body cameras, while author Chantal James criticized the move and immigrant advocates renewed calls to end ICE.
- The White House sought to distance President Donald Trump from officials who called Pretti a 'domestic terrorist,' while a judge warned Operation Metro Surge has had profound consequences.
