"Government documents have identified the two federal officers who fatally shot Alex Pretti in Minneapolis as Jesus Ochoa, a border patrol agent, and Raymundo Gutierrez, an officer with Customs and Border Protection (CBP), according to ProPublica. According to those records, Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, were the agents who fired their weapons during the confrontation last weekend that resulted in Pretti's death."
"At the time of the incident, both agents were participating in Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative that launched in December. The operation deployed numerous armed, masked agents throughout Minneapolis as part of a citywide sweep. CBP, the agency that employs both men, has declined to publicly name the agents involved and has released little additional information about the shooting."

Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, fired their weapons during the confrontation that resulted in Pretti's death. Both agents work for Customs and Border Protection and were participating in Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale immigration enforcement initiative launched in December. The operation deployed armed, masked agents throughout Minneapolis as part of a citywide sweep. CBP declined to publicly name the agents and released little additional information. The shooting sparked widespread demonstrations, renewed demands for criminal inquiries, and intensified debate over immigration enforcement, agent anonymity, and use of force. Pretti was 37 and worked as an intensive-care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital.
