Investigators are reviewing body-camera videos from immigration agents in the fatal shooting of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to NBC News.

Homeland Security investigators have videos recorded by cameras worn by multiple agents, department spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said.

The agents involved in the Pretti shooting were part of the Border Patrol Tactical Unit, a specialized force, McLaughlin said. Two law enforcement officials told NBC News that unit has more body-worn cameras.

Pretti was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent in Minneapolis on Saturday, the city's second fatal shooting by a federal officer this month amid the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration in Minnesota.

The real question is will we ever see these videos if they really exist.
