The sister of Alex Pretti said it’s been “gut-wrenching” to hear “disgusting lies” spread about her brother, as she paid tribute to him after he was fatally shot by federal officers in Minneapolis.
Micayla Pretti issued a statement on Monday, Jan. 26, calling her late brother a hero, according to the Associated Press. “All Alex ever wanted was to help someone — anyone,” she said, per the news agency. “Even in his very last moments on this earth, he was simply trying to do just that.”
ICU nurse Pretti, 37, “touched more lives than he probably ever realized” through his work at the Veterans Administration, Micayla added, the outlet reported.
Without going into too much detail, Micayla criticized the misinformation being spread about her brother, insisting, “When does this end? How many more innocent lives must be lost before we say enough?” per the AP.
“Hearing disgusting lies spread about my brother is absolutely gut-wrenching,” she continued, according to the news agency.
