Disturbing video footage captured after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good reveals what the ICE officer involved said in the aftermath.
On January 7, Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent conducting operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shot the 37-year-old Good.
At the time of the shooting, Good was driving her car, which subsequently crashed into two parked cars following the incident.
The incident has ignited significant outrage across the nation and around the world, with many questioning whether the use of deadly force was warranted in this case.
Both public figures and citizens, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, have voiced opinions that the action was unjustified. However, the Trump administration defended Ross, claiming Good had ‘weaponized her vehicle’ and that Ross acted in self-defense.
As discussions about the tragic event persist, cellphone footage captured by Ross himself has surfaced, showing moments leading up to and following Good’s death. The video has been made public by Alpha News.
In the clip, Ross is seen exiting his vehicle and approaching Good’s car. Good can be heard saying, “that’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you,” while Ross documents her registration plate.
Good’s wife, Becca, is then heard remarking, “We don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It’ll be the same plate when you come back to us later.”
Another agent demands Good to ‘get out of the f***ing car,’ prompting her to drive away. Ross then fires his weapon, and Good’s car collides with two nearby parked vehicles.
A male voice, believed to be Ross’, can be heard uttering, “F***ing b***h,” following the shooting.
Following Good’s sudden passing, a GoFundMe campaign has raised over $1.5 million for her wife and family. Becca expressed her gratitude publicly, acknowledging the widespread support.
In a heartfelt statement shared with MPR News, Becca said, “First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.
“This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.”
Becca continued, “Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter, but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.
“Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.”
