The FBI notified the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) on Feb. 13 that it will not provide access to evidence in the Jan. 24 shooting death of Alex Pretti, citing a lack of cooperation.
The BCA is seeking information on three shooting cases, including the Jan. 7 death of Renee Good and the Jan. 14 shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis, but the FBI's stance remains unclear, according to a statement from the BCA.
The BCA has committed to independent and transparent investigations, and will pursue all legal avenues to gain access to relevant information and evidence, with the agency's statement noting that "this lack of cooperation is concerning and unprecedented."
