A man killed by a Border Patrol agent in Minnesota on Saturday has been identified as Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care unit nurse from Minneapolis.
The American Nurses Association released a statement Saturday afternoon stating it “is deeply disturbed and saddened to learn of the death of Alex Pretti, a registered nurse, in Minneapolis earlier today,” adding, “We extend our condolences to Alex’s loved ones, colleagues, and the community at large.”
According to a person The Guardian reported was a colleague, Dimitri Drekonja, Pretti worked in the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs “as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans” and exemplified “such a great attitude.”
