The footage of the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, said one journalist, “shows that the final act of his life was trying to help a woman who was being physically assaulted by the masked agents who would then kill him.”

In the original video of the shooting of a man in Minneapolis, identified by the Minneapolis Star Tribune at 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a woman in a pink coat was seen in the background filming the incident with her phone.

Drop Site News obtained footage that appeared “to come from the direction of the woman in pink filming from the sidewalk” and showed the shooting at a closer distance than the footage taken from inside Glam Doll Donuts.

In the video, the shooting victim, dressed in a brown coat and pants, is seen filming a federal agent with his phone. He’s then seen guiding another person toward the sidewalk as the agent forcefully shoves a third person to the ground.

      The gun was holstered on his body. A man in a tan coat and no (visible) body armor removed it and stepped into the street with it. Less than twonseconds after he had removed it, we hear the first shot.

      Alex was licensed and lawfully carrying.

        In video of the shooting, after Alex is pepper sprayed and falls to his knees, you can see one of the thugs lift his shirt, revealing his holstered firearm to both him and the shooter. Both see it, and the shooter draws his weapon. Tan coat removes Alex’s gun from it’s holster in full view of the shooter and moves away with it, and then the shooter, knowing that Alex had already been pepper sprayed, physically restrained, and disarmed, murders him by shooting him at close range in the back.
