The new footage reveals that Alex Pretti had an altercation with federal agents during a protest in Minneapolis 11 days before he was fatally shot by Border Patrol officers.

In a video recorded on January 13 and shared by the media outlet The News Movement, the 37-year-old intensive care nurse can be seen shouting at a vehicle occupied by federal officers, along with other demonstrators. As the officers began to drive away, Pretti kicked and broke the car’s taillight, prompting an officer to exit the vehicle and force him to the ground.

Several more officers then joined the incident, while other masked and helmeted officers moved toward the shouting crowd. Pretti’s winter coat eventually came off, after which he either managed to break free or the officers released him and quickly withdrew.

Some eyewitnesses said officers shouted “Go!” before deploying tear gas and retreating. As the officers drove away, a man approached Pretti and asked if he was okay. After confirming that he was, Pretti turned to others and asked, “Are we all okay? Are we all safe?”

Pretti was wearing clothing similar to what he wore during the encounter on the day he was fatally shot. At one point in the video, when he turns his back to the camera, a handgun with a concealed-carry permit can be seen on his waistband. At no point in the video does Pretti reach for the firearm.
