Tap title to read story
Minneapolis officials said Monday they obtained body-worn camera footage and hard drives from federal authorities in the January shootings that killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty announced at a press conference, noting the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has Good's car and related statements for forensic analysis.
Minneapolis prosecutors said agencies will analyze the materials this week to inform ongoing investigations and potential charges, and officials noted the evidence had been previously withheld; the disclosures follow public backlash in January and reported personnel changes at federal agencies, while local authorities indicated continued coordination with federal partners.
