Here's what we can see from the videos of the execution of Alex Pretti:
Agent in grey disarms Alex.
Agent behind Alex watches agent in grey disarm Alex.
Agent moves agent in grey out of the way.
Agent then shoots Alex in the back three times.

Don’t let this White House lie to you. Believe what you see.
Alex Pretti was trying to help a woman off the ground. Then immigration agents tackled, shot, and killed him.
It’s time for them to get the hell out of MN.
The initial shot appears to have been a negligent discharge from the agent in grey. These frames are taken from another angle, and are one after the other. You can see the spalling on the road where the bullet struck.
After the agent shot him in the back three times, the agents back up. The agent that initially shot Alex continues to shoot Alex's lifeless body several more times.
A doctor at the scene signed an affidavit saying he saw 3 bullet holes in Alex's back: storage.courtlistener.com/re…

Perhaps even more sickening than the killing itself is your government telling you that what you saw with your own two eyes didn’t happen.

Not at all surprised, but truly sickened that @StephenM keeps calling Alex Pretti an assassin and a terrorist.
This is the most powerful government official after Trump, and he’s just slandering murdered American citizens.
He should be driven out of public life forever.

So I guess they never actually cared about preventing tyranny. They just wanted it to be their tyranny.

Fuck you, you lying piece of fascist shit.
A would-be assassin tried to murder federal law enforcement and the official Democrat account sides with the terrorists.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Videos of the encounter shows that the gun was never drawn. The weapon remains in the victim's holster until one agent removes it. After the victim is disarmed, a second agent shoots him repeatedly.

Wild watching the 1776 crowd tell people to obey the secret masked federal agents or you'll die.

PRESS RELEASE: MN Gun Owners Caucus responds to the shooting death of Alex Pretti
We are deeply concerned by this morning’s reports that a federal law enforcement operation in Minneapolis resulted in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti by federal agents. According to local officials, the man was legally armed, a firearm was recovered at the scene, and he is believed to have been a lawful gun owner and permit to carry holder.
Many critical facts remain unknown.
We do not yet have an independent account of what initiated the encounter or what triggered the use of deadly force. Despite widespread speculation regarding intent, there has been no evidence produced indicating an intent to harm the officers. We are calling for a full and transparent investigation by both state and federal authorities.
Every peaceable Minnesotan has the right to keep and bear arms—including while attending protests, acting as observers, or exercising their First Amendment rights. These rights do not disappear when someone is lawfully armed, and they must be respected and protected at all times.
