The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone. 

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared "to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk" and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts. 

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He's then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

    Oh my god, that is dense. Seems like a hazard almost, if someone were to require medical assistance in the middle of that, they would have a hard time scattering people.

    Also, at first I thought that was AI generated lol. Is it real? (I'm so annoyed that I have to ask.)

    That happens a lot at protests, the protestors just step to the side (compressing the crowd a little) to create a lane. Even if it is getting a bit angry, nobody is angry at EMS or the fire department.

    It's real, here's the source: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/us/minnesota-businesses-protest-ice.html
