Knicks star Karl-Anthony Townsreacted on Sunday night following the recent fatal shootings of United States citizens by federal agents in Minnesota.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent on Jan. 7.

Alex Pretti, 37, was shot and killed by multiple CBP agents on Jan. 24.

Good and Pretti were both protesting the presence of immigration officers in Minnesota. 

"What is happening in the Twin Cities and the Great North Star State is heartbreaking to witness," Towns wrote on X, formerly Twitter. "These events have cost lives and shaken families -- and we must call for accountability, transparency, and protections for all people. This moment demands that we reflect honestly on what our values truly are. My thoughts, prayers, and deepest condolences are with the families of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

"I stand with the people of Minnesota."

Towns spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career playing for the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

His reaction came shortly after the NBA Players Association and its executive committee issued a statement following the shooting of Pretti.

The statement read:

"Following the news of yet another fatal shooting in Minneapolis, a city that has been on the forefront of the fight against injustice, NBA players can no longer remain silent.

"Now more than ever, we must defend the right to freedom of speech and stand in solidarity with the people in Minnesota protesting and risking their lives to demand justice.

"The fraternity of NBA players, like the United States itself, is a community enriched by its global citizens, and we refuse to let the flames of division threaten the civil liberties that are meant to protect us all.

"The NBPA and its members extend our deepest condolences to the families of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, just as our thoughts remain focused on the safety and well-being of all members of our community."
