Alex Pretti’s parents say federal government is silent on investigation

MINNEAPOLIS — The family of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis nurse fatally shot by immigration agents in January, accused the federal government Tuesday of keeping them in the dark about the investigation into their son’s killing. The family of Minneapolis nurse Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by immigration agents in January, has accused the federal government of keeping them in the dark about the investigation into their son's killing. They claim that the U.S. attorney for Minnesota has refused to share any information about Pretti's killing or the federal civil rights investigation into his death. They also claim that federal officials have failed to answer a letter from the family seeking answers. Steven Schleicher, a lawyer representing Pretti’s parents, said the Justice Department’�s refusal to share basic information with the family amounted to a violation of the federal Crime Victims’ Rights Act. The officers under investigation in Pretti' killing are Jesus Ochoa, a Border Patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, who works for Customs and Border Protection.
