New video appears to show Alex Pretti spitting at federal agents and damaging a government SUV days before he was fatally shot by U.S. Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis.<\/a><\/p>\n

The News Movement released the video \u2013 reportedly recorded Jan. 13 \u2013 on Wednesday, showing a man resembling Pretti, with a beard, glasses and clothing similar to what he was wearing when he was killed.<\/p>\n

The man is seen shouting and spitting at federal agents before kicking the taillight of a federal SUV, causing it to break.<\/p>\n

As he shouts “f— you” repeatedly and flashes double middle fingers, agents exit the vehicle<\/a>, approach him and take him to the ground.<\/p>\n

Agents sprayed pepper balls and tear gas toward a nearby crowd of agitators as the altercation continued, though the man was ultimately released.<\/p>\n

After stepping away from agents, what appears to be a gun<\/a> is visible in his waistband.<\/p>\n

Rather than leave the scene, he remained with other demonstrators who continued shouting obscenities at federal law enforcement officers.<\/p>\n

Alex Pretti\u2019s family confirmed to The Minnesota Star Tribune that the person seen in the video is Alex Pretti.<\/p>\n

“A week before Alex was gunned down in the street \u2013 despite posing no threat to anyone \u2013 he was violently assaulted by a group of ICE agents,” Steve Schleicher, attorney for the Pretti family, told Fox News. “Nothing that happened a full week before could possibly have justified Alex\u2019s killing at the hands of ICE on Jan 24.”<\/p>\n

Video from the shooting appears to show him attempting to assist a woman who had been knocked to the ground by agents before he was sprayed with a chemical irritant, forced to the pavement and struck.<\/p>\n

The footage then shows an agent removing what authorities described as a suspected firearm \u2013 a 9mm pistol \u2013 from his waistband as other agents fired nearly a dozen rounds.<\/p>\n

Officials said one Border Patrol agent fired a CBP-issued Glock 19, while another fired a CBP-issued Glock 47.<\/p>\n

Before the shooting, agents were conducting enforcement operations as civilians shouted and blew whistles, with authorities saying the crowd was instructed to remain on the sidewalk to avoid interfering with law enforcement activity.<\/p>\n

Authorities said he resisted when agents attempted to take him into custody, leading to a physical struggle.<\/p>\n

During the struggle, an unidentified Border Patrol agent can be heard repeatedly shouting that the man was armed, according to the report.<\/p>\n

The shooting marked the second fatal incident in Minneapolis in recent weeks involving federal immigration agents amid heightened tensions over enforcement operations and clashes with anti-ICE demonstrators<\/a>.<\/p>\n
