Pretti had worked at a VA hospital and was described as a man who cared deeply for veterans and Minnesota life. He had also been on the street that day, acting as what the governor called a First Amendment witness to the escalating presence of federal agents.Walz revealed that he had spoken with Pretti’s parents, Michael and Susan, just the night before. Their heartbreak was palpable.”The heartache in the hours after your son’s murdered in front of the world is one thing,” Walz said. “But what stood out to me was a parent’s desire and their passion to make sure that the story of Alex was told.”Michael Pretti had one request: that no one forget his son’s name or how he lived.
