FBI Refuses to Share Evidence in Alex Pretti Killing, Minnesota BCA Says

Hennepin County's top prosecutor now plans a formal demand to federal agencies for access.

Overview

  • Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said the FBI formally notified the state it will not share information or evidence in the Pretti case.
  • The FBI has also withheld materials in the Renee Good killing and the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis as the BCA reiterates its requests.
  • The BCA called the refusal concerning and unprecedented and said it will continue independent investigations while pursuing legal avenues.
  • BCA leadership said they remain willing to share what they have and would welcome a joint investigation if the FBI reverses course.
  • Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty plans a written demand to the Justice and Homeland Security departments, and reporters have not yet received FBI comment.
