In a new statement, Alex Pretti's sister says her brother, who was fatally shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis on Saturday, "always wanted to make a difference in this world."
"Alex was kind, generous, and had a way of lighting up every room he walked into. He was incredibly intelligent and deeply passionate, and he made people feel safe," Micayla Pretti's statement read.
"Alex always wanted to make a difference in this world, and it's devastating that he won't be here to witness the impact he was making."
Officials within the Trump administration called Alex Pretti an "assassin" who tried to "massacre law enforcement," but video of the killing disproves their claims.
In the wake of the second killing by federal agents in Minneapolis this year, Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz have spoken with President Trump and other officials about reducing the federal presence in the state. https://cbsn.ws/3YZbMPd
