The man fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis on Saturday, Jan. 24, has been identified as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, according to sources familiar with the investigation.
The shooting follows the shooting death of Renee Good by an agent on Jan. 7 in south Minneapolis.
Pretti, 37, has an address listed in south Minneapolis.
Reporters with the Minnesota Star Tribune reached two members of Pretti’s immediate family as the news was still spreading. His sister fought back sobs on the phone before hanging up.
At a news conference, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said the man who was shot was a 37-year-old white man whose criminal record only showed some parking tickets. Law enforcement sources said Saturday their records show Pretti had no serious criminal history.


Held down and shot in the back.
Then as he lay there - (probably already dead) - shot like 7 more times.
That’s a murder!
