“The murder of Alex Pretti was horrifically shocking, all the more so as we are still reeling from the images of the murder of Renee Good. That these crimes can be committed in broad daylight, on camera and yet no one is held accountable only adds to the injustice,” said Billy Bragg, the renowned English singer-songwriter, guitarist, and working-class activist, also known as the “Bard of Barking,” while releasing his new song “City of Heroes” on January 28, 2026.
