A 37-year-old man was shot and killed Saturday morning in Minneapolis -- the second shooting of a U.S. citizen this month by federal agents in the city.
The shooting of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, ratcheted up tensions, as protesters clashed in the streets with law enforcement in the aftermath of the shooting.
The incident followed the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, on Jan. 7.
Body-worn cameras worn by CBP officers during shooting under review: DHS official
Customs and Border Protection officers involved in the deadly shooting of Alex Pretti were wearing body-worn cameras during the time of the shooting, according to a Homeland Security official.
"There is body-camera footage from multiple angles which investigators are currently reviewing," the official said.
CBP officers are typically outfitted with body-worn cameras, while it depends on the ICE agent.
