The man shot dead during a struggle with federal agents in Minneapolis has been identified as an intensive care nurse who treated critically ill military veterans.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti, 37, was killed shortly after 9am Saturday after an altercation involving multiple federal officers.
Minneapolis police confirmed the deceased was a white, 37‑year‑old Minnesota resident and US citizen.
Pretti's friends have since confirmed his identity to the Daily Mail as they paid tribute to the 'good, kind' who they say was 'executed' by a Border Patrol agent.
The University of Minnesota alumnus most recently listed himself as a ‘junior scientist’ on LinkedIn.
He worked as a nurse for the Veterans Health Administration at the Minneapolis VA hospital and earned a reported $90,783 in 2023, according to public records.
‘I worked with him daily for years at the VA hospital,’ Ruth Anway, a Minneapolis‑based nurse, told the Daily Mail.
‘He was an ICU nurse. He worked with veterans. He was a really good guy. He definitely did not deserve to get killed.’
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Daily Mail that agents were in the area attempting to apprehend, ‘an illegal alien wanted for violent assault’ when they were approached by Pretti.
According to DHS, Pretti was armed and carrying a gun with two magazines at the time he was detained. The agency later released a photograph of a nine‑millimeter semi‑automatic handgun it said was recovered during the clash.
Officials claimed officers attempted to disarm Pretti but that he ‘violently resisted’ before a Border Patrol agent fired the fatal shot.
Pretti was pronounced dead at the scene. DHS said he did not have identification on him at the time.
Video from the scene shows agents wrestling with Pretti and taking him to the ground moments before the shooting.

I don’t know this killed petson.. but it seems, that since the “be good” propaganda in Hollywood, “good” might be the new BLM-ism..
A good, kind man that bite the finger off an ICE officer?
A “good kind man” was executed for trying to prevent ICE from arresting all those “good kind” rapists pedophiles and murderers.
“Alex Jeffrey Pretti identified as victim of Minneapolis shooting”...
No matter how much you think you hate the UK Daily Mail, you don’t hate them enough.
“We have your back 100%. You are SAVING the country. Shame on the leadership of Minnesota — and the lunatics in the street. ICE > MN” 🔥
SECWAR stands with ICE! 🇺🇸
Why was a custom pistol found at the recent Minnesota ICE encounter? (YouTube Short)
I’d say Pretti boy was ANYTHING BUT good.
Any man or woman who has disccused prior plans to shoot people and then bites the finger off another person is not a good person.
Well said, Mr. secretary.
That’s correct.
Someone who tries to ambush and murder ICE agents, or anyone else, is nota *good* or *kind* person of any type.
Pretti boy was just as bad as those illegal aliens he cherished so much.
Exactly.
Welp, you pull a gun on a federal agent, you’re likely to get your ass shot graveyard dead.
Glad that the agent is not the one going toe morgue.
He loved is mother
was an aspring rapper
Was gonna marry his baby momma
Everyone in the neighborhood loved his sense of humor
"""""show picture of him with middle-school graduation cap"""
That should cover everything.....
He did not bite off the finger, another protester did.
ICE agents are good kind men who deserve to live also. Don’t start no shit won’t be no shit
The left out “Stupid” as it is stupid to wrestled and disobey federal LE while armed. Cop yells GUN, your chances aren’t good.
Absolutely right.
