Prosecutors Receive Withheld Evidence on Fatal Shootings

Minnesota prosecutors have obtained previously withheld evidence related to the fatal shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti, which occurred earlier this year. This evidence is expected to provide clarity on the circumstances surrounding their deaths during protests against a federal immigration crackdown. The Hennepin County Attorney, Mary Moriarty, announced the acquisition of hard drives containing this evidence through cooperation with federal partners. The case also involves the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis.

Renée Good was an unarmed U.S. citizen and mother, while Alex Pretti was shot by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials. The release of this evidence marks a significant development in the ongoing investigation into these incidents. The initial events took place amidst protests targeting a federal immigration enforcement operation. The Hennepin County Attorney's office stated that the evidence was acquired through the cooperation of federal agencies.

Mary Moriarty shared the update via a video statement posted on social media platform X. The acquisition of these hard drives is a crucial step for the state's legal team as they seek to understand and potentially prosecute the actions that led to the deaths of Good and Pretti. The specific details of the evidence have not yet been fully disclosed, but its availability is seen as vital for the progression of the case.
