A Minneapolis man who was gunned down during a struggle with federal agents has been identified by local media as Alex Jeffrey Pretti.
Sources told the Star Tribune that Pretti was the man killed following an altercation on Saturday involving multiple officers.
Minneapolis police identified the deceased as a white, male, 37-year-old US citizen native to the city.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Daily Mail that he was armed and had two magazines on him at the time he was detained.
The agency later shared a photograph of a nine millimeter semi-automatic handgun which it said was recovered from the individual during the clash.
Video shows the agents wrestled with the man and took him to the ground.
The chaos unfolded just after 9am near Glam Doll Donuts at 26th Street and Nicollet Avenue.
DHS said agents were in the area looking to apprehend, 'an illegal alien wanted for violent assault' when they were approached by the deceased.

Not sorry.
FO?
And the media thanks him for dying for such a just cause…-sarc
Huge crowd of people now in streets
Insurrection Act
I am sorry. Sorry to see Americans fighting each other and sorry to see the creation of a martyr when it was avoidable.
Already the left on social media are twisting the facts, freakin scmbags just like the “ICE is arresting children” baloney.
Wikipedia has already been updated with a sob-sister story titled, “The Killing of Alex Pretti” ... 12 minutes ago. Can’t tell me this isn’t organized.
Charge Walz, Frey, and all the others urging people to fight against ICE with felony murder.
Communists are not Americans.
They also don’t “fight” in any way Americans would recognize as masculine or righteous.
-We shot a perp with a gun pointed at us. Any questions? Now go blow your whistle somewhere else.
Pretti stupid, if you ask me.
You win!
So he was given that name, after being shot, is how that reads.
“I am sorry. Sorry to see Americans fighting each other and sorry to see the creation of a martyr when it was avoidable.”
In a more reasonable time, I’d share that regret. Now? They are at war with us, whether we chose to fight or not. They want to change our nation, and if they had the power, they’d kill those like me.
So, no, I’m not sorry, and will have a drink when one of these horrible humans is eliminated.
He was said to be a licensed nurse.
Remember recently the female nurse who wanted Karoline Leavitt dead in childbirth by a painful complication. Despicable. Many, many nurses are registered Democrats.
There is already a Wikipedia on the dead perp.
Another one bites the dust
