The death of Alex Pretti, the Minneapolis man killed by federal agents, has been ruled a homicide, the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office said.
Pretti was shot Jan. 24 during a chaotic encounter with federal immigration officers in Minneapolis.
Citing government records, ProPublica identified Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez as the two officers who fired at Pretti.
The news outlet reports that Ochoa has been a Border Patrol agent since 2018, while Guituerrez had been with CBP since 2014.

I don’t know about Minnesota but in Pennsylvania there are only five categories for death certificates:
Homicide
Suicide
Accidental
Natural
Undetermined
ProPublica doxxed the agents, like the The Treason Media it is.
Despicable of Minnesota to do this. shame
HOMICIDE:
Homicide is the killing of one human being by another, a term that encompasses both lawful and unlawful acts.
It is a general classification of death that includes murder, manslaughter, and justifiable or excusable killings, rather than a specific criminal charge itself.
And since they have been white hispanic agents for years it destroys the narratives that they were just recently hired and had no experience.
And, calling it a homicide just means he died by other than natural causes.
The death of Alex Pretti...has been ruled a homicide
Scripps is trying Treason Media BS to try to portray it as “something big”.
Who cares what the medical examiner has to say. He assaulted the ICE agents and they used lethal force. Investigate this guy.
Give him the same punishment that a certain Capitol Police officer received for Jan6 .
Definitely assisted suicide in this case. The ‘victim’ got what he was asking for.
Seems like a fog of war kind of shot. He has a gun, an agent grabs it, someone else sees this and yells ‘Gun’ so this useful idiot get shot . None of this would have happened if these liberal locusts had stayed home.
That’s swhat I think, they’re having to war game the release of info, try to keep the blame on Noem, etc
Yeah - it was suicide.
Suicide by cop triggered by an accidental discharge.
Complicated.
Quite obvious. Question is whether criminal or not.
Yawn. That means his death was caused by another human. Every soldier killed in battle is a homicide.
I thought the Minnesomali azhos said they weren’t going to get involved in this immigration stuff and would leave that job up to the adults. The DOJ needs to tell the Somali Tampon Boyz to stay the hell out of this. Pretti boy died doing what he loved to do. He should have kept the flock home and kept his gun locked up in a safe. He was definitely the Mother of all Dumbasses with his behavior.
Yep. Thank you.
I think the story here is that the agents are hispanic, blows up the coalition MSM trying to build.
