Official reports released to News Of Losangeles reveal the frantic minutes after an ICE officer shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, showing first responders tried to save the mother of three as bystanders pleaded for help and agents secured the scene.

The Shooting

Good, 37, was behind the wheel of her Honda SUV on Jan. 7 when officer Jonathan Ross recorded cellphone footage of their interaction. Cars honk, sirens wail and protesters blow whistles as Ross walks to the driver’s side. “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” Good tells him.

Another officer orders her out of the vehicle. Good’s wife, Becca Good, appears to say, “Drive.” Good turns the wheel right, away from Ross. Ross yells what sounds like “whoa” and fires. Multiple shots ring out; the camera jerks skyward, catches Ross’s masked face, then shows the SUV speeding down the street.

Emergency Response

Minneapolis Fire Emergency Medical Services arrived to find Good with:

• Apparent gunshot wounds to chest and forearm
• Possible head wound
• Unresponsive, not breathing
• Irregular, thready pulse

Paramedics applied a tourniquet and performed CPR on the sidewalk before transporting her to a local hospital. Staff halted resuscitation at 10:30 a.m., the fire report states.

Timeline of Events

911 Calls Capture Panic

Callers described the scene in rapid bursts:

• “They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car…. She’s f—— dead.”
• “ICE fired two shots through her windshield into the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed.”
• “I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there.”

A caller identifying himself only as “Philip,” apparently a Homeland Security officer, requested EMS and local backup, saying officers were “stuck in a vehicle” with “agitators on the scene.” He offered no shooter description.

Large sections of the logs are redacted under “Law Enforcement” labels.

Aftermath and Investigation

Ross walked away unassisted and was first taken to a federal building, then hospitalized for internal bleeding to the torso, according to a DHS official. He has since been released.

The FBI is leading the investigation. Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to Sophia A. Reynolds that every ICE firearm discharge “must be properly reported and reviewed” and that ICE will conduct an independent review after the primary agency finishes.

Political Fallout

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended Ross, claiming he acted in self-defense and calling Good a “domestic terrorist” without providing evidence. She added that President Trump is considering invoking the Insurrection Act over ongoing Minnesota protests, warning Governor Tim Walz that “if anything doesn’t change… I don’t anticipate that the streets will get any safer.”

More than 3,000 federal agents remain in Minneapolis conducting operations targeting corruption and immigration violations.
