Alex Pretti was a 37-year-old registered nurse who provided life-saving care. He was filming with his phone, which was his right, and not wielding a weapon when border patrol officers shot him 10 times. He was innocent. But the state should not be shooting people dead on the street, innocent or not.<\/p>\n<p>Artists play an important role in ensuring that we never forget Pretti, Renee Macklin Good, or any of the individuals whose lives were cut tragically short at the hands of state-sanctioned violence. Today, we share some of the recent portraits and tributes that moved us.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014 Valentina Di Liscia, senior editor<\/em><\/p>\n<hr>\n<figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card kg-card-hascaption\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image-100-1-1.png\" class=\"kg-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1125\" title=\"image-100-1-1\"><figcaption><span>Molly Crabapple, \u201cAlex Pretti defends his city\u201d (2026) (image courtesy the artist)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 id=\"artists-memorialize-alex-pretti-minneapolis-man-killed-by-border-patrol\">Artists Memorialize Alex Pretti, Minneapolis Man Killed by Border Patrol<\/h3>\n<p>Staff Writer Rhea Nayyar spotlights the myriad creative ways in which artists are honoring Alex Pretti and his legacy, from collages and digital paintings to cartoons and even claymation.
