Just more than a week before he was gunned down by ICE agents, Alex Pretti was involved in another incident with federal officers in Minneapolis, bystander video shows.

One clip — initially published by digital outlet The News Movement on Wednesday — was recorded on Jan. 13 near E. 36th Street and Park Avenue in Minneapolis’ Powderhorn neighborhood. It shows the 37-year-old ICU nurse among a crowd of protesters yelling at agents in an unmarked vehicle. Pretti can then be seen kicking out the SUV’s taillight, causing one of the officers inside to jump out of the vehicle. He then grabs Pretti by the jacket and pulls him to the ground while additional agents pile on, the clip shows.

For a brief moment, what appears to be a gun is visible in Pretti’s waistband. Pretti, who did not at any point reach for the weapon, had a permit to carry a concealed handgun, state officials have said.

The struggle continues for about 20 seconds, at which point Pretti manages to break away from the fray. Officers also sprayed the crowd with pepper balls and tear gas before retreating without bringing the ICU nurse into custody.

Pretti’s parents confirmed to the Guardian he is the man in the video.

He is also wearing an outfit similar to the one the day he was killed.

“A week before Alex was gunned down in the street — despite posing no threat to anyone — he was violently assaulted by a group of ICE agents,” their attorney, Steve Schleicher said. “Nothing that happened a full week before could possibly have justified Alex’s killing.”

In another clip verified by the Minnesota Star Tribune, Pretti can be seen using both hands to flip off agents after kicking and spitting at their vehicle. It was recorded by Max Shapiro, a Minneapolis-based corporate tax attorney. He rushed to the scene around 10:15 a.m., after he received a text message about ICE enforcement activity near his son’s Spanish immersion day care. He said a group of about 20 people were gathered, some of whom were throwing snowballs at the federal agents before tensions boiled over.

“He got slammed to the ground pretty hard,” he said of Pretti.

The clip ends with Shapiro approaching Pretti and asking if he is alright. Pretti responds: “I’m OK. Are we all OK? Are we all safe?”

A representative for the family confirmed they were aware of the incident and that Pretti sustained injuries, but did not get medical care.

Pretti was fatally shot by federal authorities in the Twin Cities over the weekend, just weeks after Renee Nicole Good, a mother and poet, was killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

Good’s death has sparked daily protests across Minnesota, decrying the overwhelming presence of federal agents in the state. That includes the demonstration on Saturday outside of Glam Donuts, where Pretti was shot.

The 37-year-old VA hospital nurse was killed as officers conducted a “targeted operation” against an “illegal alien wanted for violent assault,” according to the Department of Homeland Security. The White House alleged Pretti was armed at the time and brandished his firearm, but video shows an agent grabbing the gun from Pretti’s holster moments before the gunfire starts.

The agents involved in Pretti’s shooting have since been placed on leave. Neither has been identified.
