Hearing On Evidence Preservation In Alex Pretti Killing Underway
A federal judge in St. Paul, Minnesota, is hearing arguments this afternoon from state officials who want to compel the federal government to cooperate in an investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti this weekend at the hands of ICE agents.
U.S. District Court Judge Eric Tostrud issued a temporary restraining order over the weekend at the request of the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, who feared senior federal officials would seek to have evidence altered or destroyed.
It's an alarming accusation. But after the shooting death of Renee Good under similar circumstances earlier this month, it's not without justification.
When an ICE agent shot and killed Good earlier this month, the same senior federal officials named in Tostrud's restraining order appeared to try to cover it up, going so far as to prevent state investigators from collaborating on " or even viewing " evidence they had collected in the case.

I guess the other 10+ shots were discharges too.
Uh. Oops?
