According to government records reviewed by ProPublica, the agents who fired were identified as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer Raymundo Gutierrez. Both were assigned to Operation Metro Surge, a sweeping enforcement effort launched in December.

CBP has declined to release the agents' names publicly and has shared few details about the shooting. The incident also followed another fatal shooting of a Minneapolis protester just days earlier, heightening public concern.

The most striking detail emerged days later. As reported by People, the medical examiner ruled Pretti's cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds, with the manner classified as homicide.
