FBI will not share access to Alex Pretti shooting evidence with Minnesota officials, BCA says
After weeks of calling for a joint and cooperative investigation into the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration agents, state officials have formally received a response: No.
The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) announced Monday that the FBI has formally notified the agency that it will not share access to any information or evidence connected to the Pretti killing.
BCA officials say theyve reiterated requests for access to evidence for Goods killing, as well as the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis. However, state officials still havent received a definitive answer on whether or not the feds will reverse course and cooperate in those
While this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented, the BCA is committed to thorough, independent and transparent investigations of these incidents, even if hampered by a lack of access to key information and evidence, the BCA said in a press release. Our agency has committed to the FBI and Department of Justice that should its stance change we remain willing to share information that we have obtained with that agency and would welcome a joint investigation. We will continue to pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence.

OP
At this point I bet Minnesota could get a jury to convict on state charges just with the video evidence.

Maybe we're past that point. Hope the state prosectors are tenacious.

The FBI has officially notified Minnesota officials that it will not provide evidence from the shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti to local law enforcement.
In a statement on Monday, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) said the FBI had contacted it about three shootings by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents.
"The FBI formally notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not provide the BCA with access to any information or evidence that it has collected in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti," the statement said. "The BCA reiterated the request to receive information, access to evidence, and cooperation in the Jan. 7 shooting death of Renee Good and the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis. It remains unclear if there will be any cooperation or sharing of information related to those two shootings."
