The footage also shows what appears to be a handgun in Pretti's waistband.

[DailySignal.com] State and federal authorities are investigating the shooting death of Alex Pretti, 37, at the hands of US Border Patrol agents on Saturday, but newly released video confirms Pretti had a previous confrontation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement this month.

The video, captured by The News Movement, shows Pretti shouting at federal agents before kicking and damaging their vehicle on Jan. 13 in Minneapolis. Agents then exited the vehicle, grabbed Pretti, and wrestled him to the ground.

The BBC's facial recognition software confirmed Pretti's identity within 97% accuracy, and a Pretti family representative confirmed to CBS News that the man in the video was indeed Pretti.

The representative said the family knew about the incident and that Pretti, an ICU nurse, sustained injuries but did not receive medical care for them.

In the video, Pretti shouts at agents, then proceeds to kick and damage the taillight of a government SUV before agents tackle him to the ground.

The footage also shows what appears to be a handgun in Pretti's waistband. The video does not show whether agents detained Pretti after the incident.

A Department of Homeland Security official told CBS News that Homeland Security Investigations officials are analyzing the video.

Border Patrol agents shot and killed Pretti in Minneapolis on Saturday, the second fatal shooting by immigration enforcement agents in the area in less than three weeks.

The agents involved in the Saturday shooting of Pretti have been placed on leave pending an investigation. Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
