Overview
- Government records cited by ProPublica name Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, 43, and CBP officer Raymundo Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters.
- Both men were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, the federal immigration enforcement deployment across Minneapolis.
- DHS told Congress that two agents fired Glock pistols on Jan. 24, placed the shooters on administrative leave, and the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has opened a review.
- CBP has not publicly released the agents’ names as protests and bipartisan calls for transparency continue, and the FBI declined comment.
- Bystander videos show a confrontation involving pepper spray and roughly 10 shots; officials say Pretti was legally armed, and some analyses suggest an agent removed his gun before the gunfire.
