DUAL FAMILY BOMBSHELL: The families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good have finally broken their silence together — releasing a devastating lineup of resident-recorded videos that have gripped the nation and squeezed every American heart tighter than ever before!
In a powerful and coordinated move that has amplified calls for justice across the country, the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good jointly released a collection of resident-recorded videos this week, synchronized to reveal the chilling sequence of events in two fatal shootings by federal agents in Minneapolis. The simultaneous drop—described by supporters as a “united front against federal overreach”—exposes details that contradict official Department of Homeland Security (DHS) accounts and has ignited nationwide grief, outrage, and demands for accountability.

Hundreds gather at Alex Pretti memorial in Minneapolis
Alex Pretti, the 37-year-old ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, was fatally shot on January 24 during an ICE operation in the Little Earth neighborhood. Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was killed on January 7 in a separate enforcement action nearby. Both were U.S. citizens with no criminal records, and bystander footage has consistently challenged claims that they posed imminent threats.
The families’ joint release includes multiple angles from cellphones held by residents and witnesses. For Pretti, videos show him holding only his phone, moving to help a woman shoved to the ground, before being tackled by several agents. One clip captures an officer removing his legally carried handgun from his waistband just before multiple shots are fired—up to 10 in rapid succession—while he is pinned face-down. Witnesses in affidavits describe him as non-resistant, focused on shielding others amid pepper spray and chaos.

Synchronized footage for Good depicts her turning her vehicle away from agents when shots were fired into her car, including one at close range to the head. Residents captured the aftermath, showing agents failing to render aid as she lay wounded for over three minutes. The New York Times and other outlets have analyzed these clips frame-by-frame, highlighting inconsistencies with DHS narratives labeling both as “domestic terrorists” or threats.

The timing of the joint release is no coincidence. Pretti’s family had previously condemned “sickening lies” from the administration, while Good’s brothers testified on Capitol Hill about the lack of aid and accountability. By combining their voices and evidence now, the families aim to pressure ongoing FBI civil rights investigations and push for an end to militarized ICE operations in sanctuary cities like Minneapolis. “We urge all Americans to trust their own eyes,” Good’s family stated earlier, a sentiment echoed in the video drop. Pretti’s parents called their son a “kindhearted soul” dedicated to healing, not harm.

The videos have gone viral, sparking protests in Minneapolis and solidarity actions nationwide. Health care workers, veterans, and activists gathered at vigils honoring Pretti’s service, with signs reading “ICU Nurse, Not Terrorist.” Good’s memorial became a rallying point against ICE, drawing thousands despite freezing temperatures. National Nurses United and groups like the Minnesota Reformer have amplified the footage, calling for ICE abolition and reforms to federal use-of-force policies.

Federal officials remain defensive. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons refused public apologies during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing, offering only private meetings. DHS maintains agents acted in self-defense, but synchronized resident videos—verified by outlets like CBS News and NPR—paint a picture of escalation and lack of de-escalation.
This dual-family bombshell has united grieving loved ones in a shared demand: transparency, justice, and an end to what they call preventable tragedies. As one Pretti family representative stated, “Nothing justifies these deaths.” With more footage expected and congressional scrutiny intensifying, the nation grapples with the raw truth captured on everyday phones—uniting Americans in sorrow and resolve.
