The family of the late Renee Good has spoken out about the death of Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse who was fatally shot by federal officers.
Pretti was killed on the morning of Saturday, Jan. 24, in Minneapolis, the same city where Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Jan. 7.
“The events of this weekend in Minneapolis are terrifying, deeply disturbing, and heartbreaking — with yet another U.S. citizen losing their life while taking part in the time-honored and Constitutionally protected activity of being present to observe and peacefully advocate for their beliefs,” the family said in a statement released through their attorneys.
They continued in their Jan. 25 statement, “We urge all Americans to trust their own eyes as they interpret the horrific video, and to call for an absolute end to ICE activity in Minneapolis. It has clearly gone too far and strayed far beyond its stated mission of removing criminal non-citizens from the country. It is time for a hard reset. ICE agents can leave Minneapolis. The residents of Minnesota cannot.”
“We call for a complete and immediate end to the ICE invasion of this beautiful American city,” added the family of Good, a mother of three.

On Jan. 24, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed that an individual, who was later identified as Pretti, “approached U.S. Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun” and “violently resisted” as they attempted to disarm him. An agent then “fired defensive shots” at Pretti, per an official statement posted on X.
However, footage verified by The New York Times appears to contradict the DHS’s account of the situation. Pretti is seen standing among a group of protesters with both hands visible, while holding his phone in one hand as an agent squirts pepper spray at the group.

Several agents then approached Pretti, who didn’t seem to be holding or pulling a weapon as he was pinned on the sidewalk.

In a statement shared by the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, Pretti’s family accused President Donald Trump’s administration of creating “sickening lies” about his death.
“We are heartbroken but also very angry … The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting,” said Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan.
“Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs,” the parents added.
Pretti’s death comes less than three weeks after Good’s death.

Federal officials claimed Good tried to weaponize her vehicle, but that account has been fiercely disputed by both local officials and Good’s family.
Her death has been officially ruled a homicide according to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office.
