A newly surfaced video is believed to show the critical moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 7. The footage has intensified public scrutiny of the incident and sparked renewed debate over the use of force by federal agents.
The video was posted on the social media platform X on January 9 by Alpha News, which described the recording as being taken from the perspective of the ICE agent involved. The officer was later identified as Jonathan Ross. In the footage, Good is seen sitting in the driver’s seat of her SUV, which is parked sideways across the roadway, while the individual filming walks around the vehicle.
During the encounter, Good appears calm and speaks directly to the person behind the camera, stating that she is not angry. Her wife, Becca Good, is also present and is seen filming the interaction on her own phone from outside the vehicle. Becca addresses the agent as well, referencing the car’s license plate and suggesting that they could be contacted later. Her tone becomes sarcastic as she makes a remark that appears to mock the situation.
The mood shifts rapidly moments later. A voice can be heard shouting repeated commands for Good to exit the vehicle, using aggressive language. As Becca reaches toward the passenger-side door, the SUV begins to move. The video shows the vehicle reversing briefly before turning forward toward the roadway. Becca can be heard urging Renee to drive away.
Almost immediately after the vehicle begins moving, multiple gunshots are audible. Following the shots, a voice is heard using a profane insult, though it remains unclear who made the comment or who it was directed at. The video then ends with the sound of what appears to be a collision.
Additional videos recorded by bystanders provide another perspective on the shooting. These clips reportedly show Ross, wearing a mask, firing several shots into the SUV, including shots through the front driver’s-side window. The vehicle then crashes shortly afterward.
According to ABC News, citing local officials, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, sustained gunshot wounds to the head. She was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Federal officials have offered a sharply different interpretation of events. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that Good ignored commands to exit the vehicle and attempted to strike federal agents with her car. She characterized the incident as a “domestic act of terrorism,” according to CBS News. Vice President JD Vance echoed that position, writing on X that the video showed the ICE agent’s life was in danger and that the use of deadly force was an act of self-defense.
However, Minneapolis city officials have publicly rejected that narrative. Mayor Jacob Frey stated during a press conference that the video evidence does not support claims of self-defense. After personally reviewing the footage, Frey said the federal government’s description of the incident was misleading and inaccurate.
He accused the agent involved of exercising authority recklessly, arguing that the situation escalated unnecessarily and resulted in the loss of life. Frey’s remarks underscored growing tensions between local leadership and federal authorities, as well as broader concerns over accountability and transparency in law enforcement actions.
As investigations continue, the video has become a focal point for public discussion, with many calling for an independent review to determine whether the use of force was justified.
