“THAT’S HOW WE FOUND OUT…” — ALEX PRETTI’S FAMILY BREAKS SILENCE 7 MONTHS LATER, DEMANDING ANSWERS

Seven months have passed…

But for Alex Pretti’s family, the pain has never faded.

Instead of receiving a phone call telling them their son was gone, they say they discovered the unimaginable while watching the news.

A mother watching footage.

A father recognizing his own child on a screen.

A family forced to relive the moment that changed their lives forever.

Now, Alex’s parents and sister are speaking publicly for the first time, saying they are still searching for the truth and accountability.

A SON REMEMBERED, NOT A HEADLINE

Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old ICU nurse known by his family as someone who cared deeply about others.

To them, he was not a controversy.

He was a son.

A brother.

A person who believed in helping people around him.

His family says that compassion was part of who he was — and they were not surprised that he stepped forward when he saw someone who needed help.

“WE WATCHED OUR SON BE SHOT ON TV”

During their emotional interview, Alex’s parents described the heartbreak of seeing the incident unfold through news coverage instead of being contacted directly.

His father said the family learned what happened by watching television footage.

His mother said the image of losing her son in that way is something she will never forget.

A FAMILY STILL WAITING FOR ANSWERS

The Pretti family says they are not looking for attention.

They are asking for accountability.

They want a complete investigation and answers about the circumstances surrounding Alex’s death.

The case has drawn national attention, with officials and witnesses offering different accounts of the encounter, while investigations continue.

“WHAT DID HE DO TO DESERVE THIS?”

For Alex’s mother, the question remains painfully simple:

How does a family move forward after losing someone they loved so deeply?

Behind every news story is a family carrying a lifetime of memories.

A mother missing her son.

A father missing his child.

A sister missing her brother.

Seven months later, the Pretti family says they are still fighting for answers.

Not because they want the world to remember a headline…

But because they want people to remember Alex.

A nurse.

A son.

A life that mattered.
