A 32-second video obtained by News Of Los Angeles shows the moments after Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Despite a doctor offering help, agents refused to let anyone near her.

The Shooting and Aftermath

The video begins after Good’s SUV crashed into a parked car following the shooting. A man approaches and asks:

> “Can I go check a pulse?”

An ICE agent responds:

> “No. Back up.”

When the man says, “I’m a physician,” another agent replies:

> “I don’t care.”

No medical aid is shown in the video, despite agents claiming EMS and their own medics were en route.
