Minnesota leaders say evidence from Metro Surge shootings is not being shared

Several Minnesota law enforcement officials are once again trying to get the federal government to share evidence from three high-profile shootings during Operation Metro Surge.

The lawsuit, submitted last week by Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, and BCA Superintendent Drew Evans, argues that federal officials blocked Minnesota’s investigation.

Specifically, it said that the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and other top federal officials blocked Minnesota investigators from obtaining evidence related to the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, as well as the shooting that injured Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis.
