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.

    It’s really difficult to make out what’s going on in the video. Which one was it that shot him - the grey jacket guy? Was there more than one of the ICE fuckers shooting him, or just one of them?

    I either read or heard something on the news earlier that he was carrying a gun (which is totally legal for him to do, don’t blame him for a second), and somehow the gun fell (I’m guessing in the tussle with the pepper spraying), but did the ICE agent pick up his gun and shoot him with it, or was it a different gun, or multiple guns… I’ve seen two angles here, I’m not able to discern who is doing what.

    In one of the videos, it looks like you can see the gun hit the ground, and then grey jacket guy kicks it off and away… but then somehow grey jacket guy walks away from the scene with a gun in his hand??? So what the fuck happened exactly?

    EDIT: Got it now, it was this one:
