A fresh video linked to the killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti has surfaced on social media, offering a clearer picture of what happened in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Saturday morning.

A new video shows 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti being fatally shot by ICE agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during a protest against President Trump's immigration policies; Pretti appeared to be protecting two women when the shooting occurred.
The footage has intensified public outrage and raised serious questions about the actions of federal immigration officers who shot him dead during ongoing "ICE OUT" protests.
Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, was killed amid protests against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.
The newly surfaced video suggests that Alex was trying to protect two women during an encounter with United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
What the New Video Shows
According to the video, Alex was walking alongside a woman when an ICE agent allegedly pushed another woman who was walking just behind him. The woman fell to the ground, and Alex immediately moved forward to shield her.
The footage shows Alex calmly placing himself between the fallen woman and the officer. He did not appear aggressive and was not seen confronting the agent. As the officer continued moving forward, Alex raised his arm to protect himself while the agent used pepper spray.
The situation escalated when more ICE agents arrived and surrounded Alex and the two women. Alex was then forced to his knees as officers attempted to restrain him. Moments later, gunshots were heard.
Alex was seen lying motionless on the ground as people nearby screamed in shock.
Conflicting Claims After the Shooting
Another video, recorded by a man standing across the road, captured the sound of gunshots and the immediate reaction of bystanders. The man filming was heard shouting in disbelief, questioning whether the agents had killed Alex.
In one of the videos, Alex is seen holding a mobile phone and recording the confrontation. He is not seen carrying any weapon in the footage.
However, federal officials later claimed that Alex was in possession of a 9mm handgun and magazines. Authorities stated that the shooting was a defensive action taken during an attempt to disarm him.
These claims have been strongly questioned by viewers online, who say the videos do not support the official version of events.
Growing Anger Amid ICE Crackdown
The killing has added fuel to the ongoing protests in Minneapolis, where residents are demanding an end to ICE operations in the city. Many protesters say the presence of heavily armed federal agents has created fear rather than safety.
The incident comes just days after ICE agents were involved in another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, where a woman named Renee Good was shot and killed inside her car.
The back-to-back incidents have deepened public concern and calls for accountability.
As more videos emerge, pressure is mounting on federal authorities to explain the sequence of events clearly and address questions surrounding the use of deadly force. The case has become a flashpoint in the wider debate over immigration enforcement, police conduct, and civilian safety in the United States.
