On Jan. 7, mother and poet, Renee Nicole Good, was shot and killed in her car by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, Jonathan Ross, in Minneapolis, Minnesota when she stopped to observe nearby ICE immigration activity.
Several videos have been released, revealing multiple angles of the events that took place before and during the shooting. In one video, Good was seen driving to the right of an ICE agent, followed by several shots as the car sped off before crashing into other parked vehicles.
Additional footage from Ross’s cellphone showed his perspective of the shooting, which suggested that Good was “blocking ICE” activity. Questions over the legitimacy of the shooting, and whether Ross violated the Department of Homeland Security’s deadly force policy, have been raised.
Footage has also shown that ICE agents refused to allow bystander medical assistance to Good, despite a purported doctor being there. Both the federal government and the FBI have allegedly refused to work with Minnesota during the investigation and have withheld evidence.
New documents also suggest that Good may have been linked to parent activist groups who were closely watching ICE movements. Her death follows the recent fatal shootings of Keith Porter, Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, and Jaime Alanís Garcia who were also killed by ICE agents.
