Minnesota Sues Trump Admin Over Renee Good and Alex Pretti Killings

Minnesota officials sued the Trump administration Tuesday, accusing it of withholding information related to the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, who were shot by federal officers in Minnesota earlier this year.

The lawsuit claims federal authorities “took exclusive control of evidence” and refused state and local authorities basic information following both killings, as well as the nonfatal shooting of Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis, who was shot and injured by a federal agent in Minneapolis.

“Instead of sharing information, federal authorities took exclusive possession of evidence that had been collected, and they denied Minnesota investigators access to key information,” the lawsuit reads. The state argues this failure to cooperate violates “responsibility to protect against and address violence within its borders, including by prosecuting homicides, attempted homicides, and assaults.”

This is a developing story.
