Michael Pretti , the father of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti , killed in Minneapolis during a US Border Patrol operation, has publicly demanded that the truth about his son's death be made public.

In an interview with Corriere della Sera , he said that both of Alex's grandparents , on both his mother's and father's sides, had emigrated to the United States from northern Italy.

Alex Pretti was killed during a federal force intervention, in an operation against illegal immigrants in the city of Minneapolis.

The operation was led by Greg Bovino, commander of the Border Patrol, also a descendant of Italian immigrants.

Michael and his wife, Susan, who live in Colorado, learned of their son's murder not from authorities, but from an Associated Press reporter.

As of Saturday evening, they had not received any official notification from the Department of Homeland Security about Alex's death.

"Please let the world know," said Michael Pretti, adding that he did not feel able to speak to the media at this time, but wanted the truth about his son to come out. He sent a written statement to American journalists, saying: "Please let the truth come out about our son. He was a good man."

According to a video reconstruction released by the media, Alex Pretti was holding a cellphone and filming federal agents at the moment he was shot to death.

His parents reacted strongly after statements from the Department of Homeland Security and Greg Bovino, who described Alex Pretti as a "terrorist" and claimed that he had a gun and attacked agents.

"We are heartbroken, but also very angry," their statement said.

" Alex was a kind soul. He cared for his family, friends and the American veterans he served as a nurse in the intensive care unit of the Veterans Hospital in Minneapolis ."

According to the parents, the videos that have emerged so far contradict the authorities' official version.

"The administration's despicable lies about our son are reprehensible. Alex had no weapon. He was holding his phone in his right hand and his left hand raised above his head as he tried to protect a woman who had just been tackled to the ground and pepper-sprayed by ICE agents," the statement said.

Alex Pretti was an American citizen, born in Illinois, with no criminal record. He was living alone after a divorce and the loss of his dog.

He often worked late, but neighbors said he had many friends and was not a recluse.

His ex-wife stated that Alex had a gun with a regular permit, while a neighbor said that he occasionally frequented the shooting range, but expressed surprise that he had taken the gun with him to the protest.

His parents said they had warned him to be careful during the anti-ICE protests, which he attended because, according to them, he felt shaken by what was happening in Minneapolis and across the US.

“He thought it was terrible to kidnap children and people off the streets,” they said.

The parents' last conversation with Alex had taken place two days before his death.

He told them that he had given a $100 tip to a Hispanic worker who had repaired his garage door, due to the tense situation in the city.
