**Family of Alex Pretti Retains High-Profile Lawyer Who Helped Convict George Floyd’s Killer**
The parents of **Alex Pretti** have taken a significant legal step in the aftermath of their son’s fatal shooting, announcing that they have retained **Steve Schleicher**, a prominent attorney and former federal prosecutor, to represent them *pro bono* in the case. Schleicher is joining the family’s legal efforts without charging fees, a family spokesperson confirmed. ([Newsweek][1])
Schleicher, now a partner at the Minneapolis law firm Maslon, is widely known for his role as a **special prosecutor in the 2021 trial that resulted in the conviction of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd**. His experience includes more than a decade in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Minnesota, handling cases from violent crime to civil rights violations, and service as a reserve officer in the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center, was shot multiple times on January 24 while filming U.S. Border Patrol officers during an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis. Video from the scene appears to show one officer removing Pretti’s legally carried handgun before two others opened fire.
In addition to Schleicher, Pretti’s younger sister, **Micayla Pretti**, has separately retained attorney **Anthony Cotton** of the Milwaukee law firm Kuchler & Cotton. According to the family’s spokesman, the lawyers were brought on to *“protect the family’s interest in the aftermath of this horrific tragedy.”*
The development comes amid broader scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement after Pretti’s death, following other recent fatal encounters involving federal agents in the region. ([Las Vegas Review-Journal][2])
