Claims have been circulating on social media about the employment history of Alex Pretti, a nurse killed by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis, and that he was fired from his job.

<br>According to the report, Pretti was allegedly dismissed after complaints from patients and an internal review that supposedly documented &quot;five incidents of inappropriate behaviour&quot;. The article included detailed quotes attributed to the purported Dr Vasquez. <br><br>These claims are untrue. <br><br>Pretti was never employed by Lakeshore Medical Center, and there is no indication that a doctor named Elena Vasquez is affiliated with the institution. There is also no evidence to support the allegations outlined in the report, which appear to have been entirely fabricated. <br><br>At the time of his death, Pretti was working as a registered nurse in the intensive care unit at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System.<nh-chunk-delimit />
