A newly released video shows 37-year-old Alex Pretti confronting federal immigration officers on a Minneapolis street 11 days before he was fatally shot in another encounter with Customs and Border Protection agents, a Pretti family representative confirmed to CBS News Wednesday.

The representative said the family knew about the incident and that he sustained injuries, but did not receive medical care.

The video was recorded on Jan. 13 and posted Wednesday by The News Movement, a digital media outlet. It shows Pretti confronting federal agents along with other protesters. The video was verified by CBS News partner BBC News, and CBS News has confirmed the footage was filmed in Minneapolis.
