@Bellingcat is good at analysis of video evidence, and this article seems to confirm the worst about the murder of Alex Pretti. It appears that:
- Pretti‘s gun was removed from its holster before any shot was fired.
- His hands were in front of him, on the ground, before shots were fired.
- The ICE murderer shot him in the back, then 3 more times while he was limp on the ground, and then 6 more shots were fired into his lifeless body.
