Photo is from Minneapolis Star-Tribune, which obtained it from AP. Michael Pretti, Alex's father, provided the photo to the AP, according to the AP

"“He cared about people deeply and he was very upset with what was happening in Minneapolis and throughout the United States with ICE, as millions of other people are upset,” said Michael Pretti, Alex’s father. “He thought it was terrible, you know, kidnapping children, just grabbing people off the street. He cared about those people, and he knew it was wrong, so he did participate in protests.” - Michael Pretty, as reported by AP.

3. A hiker. A caring man. I've been crying over this

murder all afternoon. We were on a 5 mile hike today and came home to this news.

I was 16 in 1968. I’ve seen this show before

6. out protesting this morning in Newport Beach.

A good showing of about 150 people. Passionate and heart sick about today's ICE behavior. A camera crew led by a trumper was trying to engage us. Word was passed around not to speak to them. My sign says "No ICE In This Melting Pot" with four American flags atop. He asked me if I wanted to say something to the "brave men of ICE". Very hard to stay tight lipped.

I did find a gesture that helps respond the the "F U s" from cars passing by - the Nazi salute. It's all they understand, and reflects their betrayal of the American Spirit.

You didn't deserve this...

Rest in peace Alex. Condolences and prayers for his family and loved ones.

8. What his

Dad has just said, we all feel the same way like Alex did. Alex was doing what was right in his heart and compassionate. Compassion which is lacking in so many in this horrible fascist regime.

So sorry to see this young man whose life was cut down by such evil people.

RIP Alex and Nicole.

A nurse in ICU, a life of compassion and service, cut down by evil. There are no words, only grief and heartbreak.. You will be missed and not forgotten.

14. Not knowing much about him but only his action

that ended with his murder. I say he's a hero of and to humanity and that pose would make a great bronze statue in his honor.
