A card with images of ReneĢe Good and Alex Pretti lies among flowers and other mementos at a memorial in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Jan. 27, 2026. On January 24, federal agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse, while scuffling with him on an icy roadway in Minneapolis, less than three weeks after an immigration officer fired on Renee Good, also 37, killing her in her car.
