Pretti was a registered nurse who worked in veteran's affairs. He was holding a cellphone, apparently filming law enforcement activity, nearly one mile away from where Renee Good was shot by an immigration enforcement agent earlier this month.

Dozens of people are participating in the rally and vigil outside of North Battlefield VA's clinic in remembrance of Petti's life.
Dell Young, an attendee at the rally, was holding a sign with both Good and Pretti's faces. She said that people "need to wake up."
"We need to get people to wake and pay attention to what's going on with our country. It's very sad," she said.
The rally dispersed around 6:30 p.m.
