The video, released by Alpha News, was taken on a cellphone and captures the “perspective of the federal agent at the center of the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis,” the outlet reported.
The clip shows Good stopped in her Maroon Honda SUV on Wednesday morning as she’s being approached by the agents.
The mom of three appears to smile and says, “That’s fine dude. I’m not mad,” as he walks just inches away from her open driver’s side window.
Meanwhile, Good’s wife, Rebecca Good, 40, stood feet away, and could be heard provoking the agent and yelling at him to “show his face.”
“You want to come at us? I saw go get yourself some lunch big boy,” Rebecca could be heard saying as she films the encounter.
“Go ahead,” she continued while the agent remained silent.
As seen in other videos from the scene, two more officers approach the Honda and scream for Good to get out of the car.
As they do, Rebecca can be seen trying to open the front passenger side door, which is locked, before shouting at Good, “Drive, baby, drive, drive.”
Good can be seen backing up and turning her steering wheel to the right before accelerating forward.
The moment she does, three gunshots can be heard along what appears to be a crunching sound.
As the car speeds down the street, a man’s voice is heard saying “f**king b***h” before the out-of-control Honda rams into a parked car with the engine still revving.
In other videos taken at the scene, Ross is seen walking alone towards the crash after the shooting.
The newly released clip was also shared after CCTV showed that Good apparently had been blocking the road with her car for four minutes, CNN first reported.

Soon after the video was published, Vice President JD Vance shared it on X, and said it was proof that Good was an aggressor who put the lives of ICE agents at risk.
He and other federal officials have deemed Good a “domestic terrorist” for striking Ross with her car. They’ve argued that he shot her in self-defense.
Meanwhile, local officials have questioned this reasoning, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey boldly calling it “bulls**t.”
Good’s wife broke her silence before the latest video was released, and described the victim as a Christian who exuded “pure love” and “pure sunshine.”
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors,” she wrote, appearing to reference an anti-ICE protest that had been taking place before the shooting.
“We had whistles. They had guns.”
A GoFundMe started to amass funds for Rebecca and Good’s children has amassed $1.5 million as of Friday.

The FBI is leading the investigation into the shooting, and local lawmakers have made a desperate plea for transparency as the probe is launched.
On Friday, Minnesota prosecutors announced they would be conducting their own independent review into Good’s killing.
They told the public that state attorneys have the right to consider criminal charges against federal agents, but are asking for access to files controlled by the FBI.
Without the federal investigation materials, prosecutors fear their review could be arduous.
“I know our community wants fast answers,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said, according to the Minnesota Star Tribune.
“I know the city feels again as if it is at the center of a national fight as you are processing everything that is happening here.
“I wish I could promise a swift decision and the resolution you want. But I cannot promise you that right now.”
Meanwhile, as fiery protests heat up in the city, Governor Tim Walz has announced that he will have the Minnesota National Guard on standby for deployment.
In a statement, he wrote, “Yesterday, I directed the National Guard to be ready should they be needed.
“They remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, and allow for peaceful demonstrations.”
