Summary
Hard drives, body-camera footage and Renee Good’s SUV have been turned over to Hennepin County and the Minnesota BCA, allowing stalled reviews of the deaths of Good and Alex Pretti and the shooting of Julio Sosa-Celis to resume.
Six months after the shootings during Operation Metro Surge, local investigators had been blocked because federal agents withheld key evidence, including video and other scene material.
Mary Moriarty said prosecutors immediately began analyzing hours of footage alongside evidence already gathered, but set no deadline for deciding whether any federal agents will face charges.
The transfer may ease a state-federal clash that had already prompted a lawsuit for access, though Pretti’s family said federal authorities still have not publicly committed to full cooperation.
