Video Evidence: Federal Officer Disarmed Man, Then Shot Him in the Back
Video analysis suggests a federal immigration officer removed a gun from Alex Pretti’s waistband just moments before officers fatally shot him. The videos show an agent, identified by a gray jacket, retrieving the weapon from the scuffle. A DHS spokesperson claimed an agent fired in self-defense, but the videos do not show Pretti brandishing a weapon. Following the shooting, another officer asked where the gun was, and the agent responded that they had it.
