A representative of Preti\u2019s family confirmed that the man in the video, which was released last night, is indeed Preti, CNN reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the footage, published by the digital outlet The News Movement, Preti can be seen shouting at agents and kicking the rear taillight of their vehicle as they drive away. The agents then stop the vehicle, get out, and knock Preti to the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire incident in Minneapolis lasts only a few seconds, after which Preti gets back up. He appears to have a pistol tucked into his waistband, but it is unclear whether the agents noticed it. They do not disarm him, but instead retreat and leave. It is not known what happened immediately before and after the moment captured in the footage, CNN reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Alex Pretti spits on a federal agent and then kicks out his taillight in footage released by the BBC from 11 days before his death.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/64hg4FXv1a\">pic.twitter.com\/64hg4FXv1a<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Greg Price (@greg_price11) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/greg_price11\/status\/2016617350615781675?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 28, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dressed Similarly to the Day He Was Killed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The News Movement released the footage after reviewing material recorded in the city by demonstrators and federal agents, 11 days before Preti\u2019s killing. The video was recorded at a location less than three kilometers from where Preti was later fatally shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the footage, Preti is wearing a brown hat, a brown jacket, a light-colored hooded sweatshirt, and beige pants \u2014 clothing similar to what he was wearing on the day he was killed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Family Attorney: Nothing Can Justify the Killing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told CNN that it is reviewing the released footage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne week before Aleks was shot on the street, despite posing no threat to anyone, a group of ICE agents violently attacked him,\u201d Steve Schleicher, the Preti family\u2019s attorney, told CNN. \u201cNothing that happened in the days leading up to this can justify the fact that ICE killed Aleks on January 24.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Previous Incidents<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>CNN previously reported that Preti, a 37-year-old medical technician employed in an intensive care unit, had an encounter with federal agents approximately a week before his death and was known to federal authorities. According to CNN sources, he suffered a broken rib when a group of federal officers knocked him to the ground as he protested their attempt to detain other individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is unclear whether that encounter is the same one recorded by The News Movement. DHS said in a statement on Tuesday that \u201cthis incident was not documented.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Minneapolis resident told local media that on January 13 he saw a demonstrator kick the rear taillight of an ICE vehicle and then be knocked to the ground by agents during a clash between bystanders, demonstrators, and federal agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was a really powerful kick,\u201d witness Andy Larson told the Sahan Journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/the-cause-of-the-terrible-accident-revealed-paok-fans-died-due-to-an-error-in-the-vehicles-electronic-system-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">THE CAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE ACCIDENT REVEALED: PAOK fans died due to an error in the vehicle\u2019s electronic system!
