The parents of Alex Pretti said Tuesday in Minneapolis that they have received no updates from federal officials nine months after Customs and Border Patrol agents fatally shot their son, according to the Minnesota Reformer².

Susan Pretti said the family was asking the Justice Department to hold the men who killed their son accountable². Michael Pretti said, "We have not heard anything from the federal government"².

He named U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen, saying Rosen had given the family no updates, according to the Reformer². The Reformer did not quote a response from Rosen or the Justice Department².

Family attorney Steve Schleicher said he sent a letter to the Justice Department three months ago seeking information about the investigation, including the names of the shooters, and that the family had received neither a reply nor an acknowledgment².

The Reformer reported that CBP agents fatally shot Pretti in south Minneapolis on Jan. 24 during Operation Metro Surge, and that Attorney General Todd Blanche announced six days later that the FBI was opening a civil rights investigation². The Reformer said federal prosecutors have not charged any of the agents involved².

The Reformer's account said agents tackled Pretti, disarmed him and then shot him in the back several times². That sequence was not independently described in the FOX 9 or Star Tribune pages that could be read^3,4.

FOX 9 said Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison and Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty are still deciding whether to file charges, and that Moriarty said in January she anticipated having enough evidence for a charging decision⁴.

The Reformer said Minnesota law enforcement leaders stated in a court filing last week that federal officials were again refusing to hand over key evidence to local investigators². FOX 9 likewise said Minnesota investigators continue to seek evidence from the federal government⁴.

CBS News posted a video of the parents under a headline matching their claim they have not heard from the federal government; no transcript of that clip was available to cite¹. The Star Tribune live page identified the event as the parents' first news conference since the shooting but did not yield a full recap in the text that could be read³.

The Reformer said Pretti had researched molecular biology at the University of Minnesota and later worked as an intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center². What the Justice Department will tell the family, and whether state prosecutors will charge anyone, remains unstated in the assigned coverage^2,4.
