Video Shows Moments Before ICE Agent Fatally Shot Minneapolis Woman
Federal authorities released body camera and cellphone video showing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal immigration agent during a confrontation with officers.
The video was released two days after a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent, Johnathan “Jon” Ross, 40, fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, 37, after she allegedly drove her vehicle toward officers.
The footage, recorded from an ICE agent’s vantage point, shows Good’s Honda Pilot stopped in the middle of a residential street, appearing to block traffic.
Good is heard telling an agent, “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad,” as officers approach the vehicle.
At the same time, body camera video shows Good’s wife, Rebecca Good, filming the encounter on her cellphone.
Both women appear to refuse repeated commands from federal agents to move the vehicle and leave the area.
Rebecca Good is heard taunting agents, demanding they show their faces, and saying, “You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy.”
An agent is seen walking around the vehicle to check the license plate.
Seconds later, another agent approaches the driver’s side and orders Renee Good to exit the vehicle.
“Get out of the car. Get out of the f—— car,” the agent says while reaching toward the steering wheel.
Renee Good then backs up before accelerating forward toward the agent wearing the body camera, who had positioned himself in front of the vehicle.
The agent is heard saying “whoa” before multiple shots are fired.
Good’s vehicle continued down the street and crashed into a parked car roughly 100 feet away.
She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward.
In a statement released Friday, Rebecca Good confirmed the couple had intentionally stopped near federal officers.
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” she said.
The shooting has sparked intense political backlash against the Trump administration and renewed scrutiny of ICE enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
Federal officials said the agent acted in self-defense and described the incident as an act of domestic terrorism.
Democratic officials have rejected the self-defense claim.
Debate has centered on whether the agent was struck by the vehicle.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, wrote in a New York Times op ed that President Donald Trump’s claim that Good “ran him over” was false.
“I’ve watched multiple videos, from multiple perspectives, it seems clear that Good was trying to leave the scene, not attack an agent,” Frey wrote.
Federal officials said the agent who fired the shots had previously been injured after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle in a separate incident last year.
Authorities said the prior incident left the agent “scarred.”
Video from Wednesday’s shooting shows the agent walking without visible impairment immediately afterward.
Federal sources said Good had been following and harassing ICE officers earlier that day.
She was also identified as a Minneapolis-based immigration activist affiliated with a group known as ICE Watch, according to federal law enforcement sources.
Homeland Security officials told Fox News the group monitors and attempts to interfere with federal immigration enforcement operations.
The group operates in multiple sanctuary cities across the country, officials said.
Sources said Good became involved with ICE Watch after relocating to Minneapolis within the past year.
Officials said she became active in so-called “ICE Watch Warrior” missions after forming relationships with parents at a charter school where her child was enrolled.
