Minneapolis ICE shootings: Investigation update in Alex Pretti, Renee Good cases

We are now in July, which marks six months since Rene Good and Alex Pretty were shot and killed by federal officers, and Julio Sosa Solis was shot and injured, also by a federal officer. Six months of relentless collective effort by our office, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, and Attorney General Keith Ellison's office to obtain and review all of the evidence in these cases. Today, I am proud to announce that we have reached another important milestone in our work. Through the cooperation of our federal partners, we have obtained the hard drives of previously withheld evidence in the killings of Rene Good and Alex Pretty and the shooting of Julio Sosa Solis. We have also obtained some of the physical evidence that was previously withheld, including Rene Good's car. Our lawyers are working collaboratively with the BCA, the Attorney General's office, and our federal partners to facilitate ongoing evidence exchange. The BCA has also shared its files on these cases with the U.S. Attorney's office. I want to thank our federal partners for their willingness to consider changing course to share evidence and promote public trust. Obtaining this evidence has been a priority for us since January 7th. It has been rightfully demanded by our community for the past six months. The collective effort from our staff, the Attorney General's office, and the BCA to make this happen is staggering. We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing pro bono support we've received from the Washington Litigation Group and the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection at Georgetown. I have been consistent that we have not prejudged any of these instances. And also that we need transparency. We need cooperation. Our community needs it. Alex Pretty and Rene Good's families deserve it. Julio Sosa Solis deserves it. Our democracy requires it.
