Goons Unmasked: CBP Agents Who Murdered Alex Pretti Identified As Jesus Ochoa And Raymundo Gutierrez
Both photos above are of Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa, one of the men who murdered Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this month. There haven’t been any photos of the other agent who opened fire, Raymundo Gutierrez, found as of post time. It’s disgustingly ironic, of course, that both killers appear to be Hispanic. ProPublica was able to to identify the CBP agents today. Excerpt:
The two federal immigration agents who fired on Minneapolis protester Alex Pretti are identified in government records as Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez. The records viewed by ProPublica list Ochoa, 43, and Gutierrez, 35, as the shooters during the deadly encounter last weekend that left Pretti dead and ignited massive protests and calls for criminal investigations.
Ochoa is a Border Patrol agent who joined CBP in 2018. Gutierrez joined in 2014 and works for CBP’s Office of Field Operations. He is assigned to a special response team, which conducts high-risk operations like those of police SWAT units. Records show both men are from South Texas.
Ochoa, who goes by Jesse, graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American with a degree in criminal justice, according to his ex-wife, Angelica Ochoa. A longtime resident of the Rio Grande Valley, Ochoa had for years dreamed of working for the Border Patrol and finally landed a job there, she said. By the time the couple split in 2021, he had become a gun enthusiast with about 25 rifles, pistols and shotguns, Angelica Ochoa said.
Of course Jesus now goes by “Jesse.” Much more at the link.
