Minnesota ICE shooting: Footage shows moments before fatal incident | World | News
New footage has emerged just days after the shooting in Minneapolis that resulted in the death of Renee Nicole Good. The footage was reportedly captured by the ICE agent, Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross, who had confronted Good at what the Trump administration has called a protest against the planned detention of Somali migrants. The 37-year-old mother was at the scene with her wife, who was also using her cellphone to record the interaction leading up to the shooting.
In the newly-obtained footage shared by US news outlet Alpha News, Good’s wife, Rebecca, could be heard requesting the man believed to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Ross to “show his face” and asking him, “You want to come at us?” She can be heard saying in the clip: “You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch big boy. Go ahead.” Good was instructed by the person filming, believed to be Ross, to get out of the car but ignored those requests.
The clip then shows her driving off, with the camera filming the newly-emerged footage jerking. It is unclear whether the man was struck by the car or jumped to dodge the vehicle.
Seconds before the clip ends, the noise of what appear to be two gunshots can be heard. Local officials have said Good posed no danger to the ICE agent, while the Trump administration says the agent shot her in self-defence.
Protests have taken place in Minneapolis following Good’s death. Friends of Good told the New York Post that she was part of a network of activists that formed through her son’s charter school.
Other footage caught at the scene shows Rebecca reeling after her wife had been shot. She can be heard saying: “I made her come down here, it’s my fault.”
Good’s mother Donna Ganger denied reports that her daughter would be part of any such protest.
Vice President JD Vance has defended Ross amid public backlash, saying that Good was a victim of “left-wing ideology”. He said, “I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognising that it is a tragedy of her own making.”
However, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey branded that argument “garbage”.
