About this listen

In this episode of Minneapolis Shootings, AI host Marc Ellery examines the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24, 2026, in south Minneapolis. Marc breaks down the competing narratives between federal officials who claim Pretti approached agents with a gun and violently resisted, versus witness videos that appear to show him holding only a cell phone while trying to help a woman who'd been pushed to the ground. The episode traces who Alex Pretti was—a dedicated healthcare worker at the Minneapolis VA hospital with no criminal record—and walks through the timeline of that morning on Nicollet Avenue, the immediate chaotic aftermath involving protests and tear gas, and the unprecedented legal battle as state investigators were blocked from the scene despite having a valid search warrant. Marc presents the verified facts without political bias, letting listeners see where the official accounts align with video evidence and where troubling discrepancies emerge in this third federal shooting in Minneapolis in less than three weeks.
