An investigation into the death of Renee Good, a mother, revealed which of the three gunshots fired by an ICE officer in Minneapolis was responsible for her passing.
The examination, conducted at the request of Renee’s family, determined that she sustained gunshot wounds to her left forearm and breast, with the latter not affecting any vital organs. However, neither of these injuries was deemed life-threatening.
According to legal representatives working on behalf of the family, a third bullet entered Renee’s head near her temple and exited on the right side, causing a graze wound. The autopsy was performed by an esteemed independent medical pathologist, as stated by the family’s attorneys.
Antonio M. Romanucci, the family’s attorney who previously represented George Floyd’s family, expressed confidence in the evidence gathered during the ongoing investigation. The video footage from the incident on January 7, 2026, is deemed crucial, especially when assessed against standards of reasonable policing and the overall circumstances. The official autopsy report from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office is awaited.
Renee, aged 37, was shot while seated in her SUV during an encounter involving ICE agent Jonathan Ross. Ross, who was recording a video on his phone, interacted with Renee and her partner before positioning himself in front of the vehicle.
Following instructions from another ICE agent to exit the SUV, Renee moved the car forward. Conflicting reports emerged regarding whether Renee intentionally struck Ross with the vehicle, as indicated by video footage showing her steering away from him.
After the shooting, Ross was heard using offensive language before Renee’s SUV collided with parked cars. The incident has sparked a divisive response in America, with conservatives defending Ross’s actions and liberals condemning the shooting.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem labeled Renee as a “domestic terrorist” without providing substantiating evidence, asserting that Ross acted in self-defense. In contrast, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized federal officials and demanded that ICE leave the city. The FBI is currently investigating the shooting.
