ProPublica Narrows Focus: Two Federal Agents Named in Alex Pretti's Fatal Shooting in Minneapolis
Government documents cited by ProPublica identify two federal agents—Jesus Ochoa, a Border Patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, a CBP officer—as the individuals who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. These agents were reportedly assigned to Operation Metro Surge.
Multiple users repeat this core fact, citing ProPublica's use of government records to name Ochoa and Gutierrez. However, users note CBP's reported refusal to release further facts. Furthermore, the thread connects Pretti's shooting to an earlier, similar incident where Renee Good was reportedly shot dead by an immigration agent in Minneapolis, a point stressed by 'tonytins' and 'Stamau123'.
The overwhelming consensus fixates on the identity of the shooters and the pattern of violence. The core dispute revolves around the alleged systemic failures and lack of transparency from CBP regarding the incident and previous shootings.
