The Justice Department opened a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting death of Alex Pretti, who was killed by Border Patrol officers. Federal investigators will review events on the day of the shooting and the days and weeks leading up to it. The Civil Rights Division evaluates facts and circumstances before opening investigations into law enforcement shootings and does not investigate every such incident. The FBI will lead the federal probe after Homeland Security shifted investigative responsibility from a departmental unit. The Pretti family seeks a fair, impartial investigation that examines the facts surrounding his killing.
