Protest Shooting Evidence
Federal officials finally provide long-delayed evidence in the deaths of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
Summary
Federal investigators have turned over hard drives of previously withheld evidence to Minnesota prosecutors investigating the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, state officials announced Monday. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said the materials had been sought for months in the state probe into the killings during protests against a federal immigration enforcement crackdown earlier this year. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said federal officials took roughly six months to share the evidence with local law enforcement. The incidents also included the wounding of Julio Sosa-Celis.
