New surveillance video shows how Renee Nicole Good apparently blocked the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was killed by ICE agent Jon Ross.
Good, 37, was shot three times in Minneapolis on Wednesday afternoon for allegedly ignoring ICE agents’ demands to get out of her car.
Newly released footage of her killing shows how about 20 seconds after Good’s maroon Honda Pilot pulled up to the street, a passenger – believed to be her wife Rebecca Good – exited the vehicle and eventually began filming.
Good then repositioned the SUV, seemingly blocking the street. The grainy video, however, shows that other cars were still able to pass around her.
Officer Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross then arrives and is quickly joined by other federal agents who surround Good’s vehicle.
A federal agent began to grab at her door, allegedly ordering her to get out of the SUV. Good seemingly pulled the car forward and Ross fired three shots at her in quick succession, before she drove off.
The new footage does not show the immediate aftermath of the deadly shooting in which Good lost control at the wheel and crashed.
There is speculation that Rebecca Good, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents. She was seen wielding her camera during Ross’s confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started tor record.
Ross has been branded a ‘murderer’ by furious Democrats but has enjoyed the full support of the Trump administration, who argue he acted in self-defense when it appeared Good intended to run him down with her car.
Good’s friends have revealed she was part of a network of activists coordinated through her six-year-old son’s charter school who were actively resisting ICE.
‘She was a warrior. She died doing what was right,’ a mother named Leesa who has a child at the same school as Good’s son told The New York Post.
‘[Renee Good] was trained against these ICE agents — what to do, what not to do, it’s a very thorough training.
‘I know she was doing the right thing. I watched the video plenty of times but I also know in my heart the woman she was, she was doing everything right.’
According to the publication, Southside Family Charter School has publicly boasted of having a ‘social justice first’ approach to learning and ‘involving kids in political and social activism’.
Good and her Rebecca moved to the area just last year and enrolled their six-year-old boy in classes at the school.
They are understood to have fled the US after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.
Good then allegedly became involved in the charter school community and the local ‘ICE Watch’ group, which is a coalition of activists who seek to disrupt ICE raids.
Rebecca, in harrowing video captured at the scene, admitted that she encouraged Good to confront agents. ‘I made her come down here, it’s my fault,’ she cried.
Witnesses have claimed Good, a mother of three, and Rebecca were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.
But Good’s mother Donna Ganger has denied reports that her daughter would have been ‘part of anything like’ the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.
‘That’s so stupid,’ she told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. ‘Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
‘She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.’
The distraught mother added that her daughter ‘was probably terrified.’
Good is a registered voter but her party affiliation is not listed in public records. No records about Rebecca’s voting history were publicly available.
Ross is an ‘experienced’ officer who last year suffered gruesome injuries as he tried to arrest an illegal immigrant sex offender.
The previous incident in which Officer Ross was dragged by a car took place in Bloomington, Minnesota and the officer suffered a serious injury to his right arm which required 20 stitches.
‘He’s the same ICE agent who got dragged by car 50 feet back in June, so he has a history,’ an FBI agent, speaking to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity, said Wednesday.
The FBI agent noted that he does not believe Ross was justified in his shooting of Good.
‘Shot one, sort of can be argued, but shots two and three – they cannot be argued.’
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, President Donald Trump and others in his administration have repeatedly characterized the Minneapolis shooting as an act of self-defense and cast Good as a villain, suggesting she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack the officer who shot her.
Vice President JD Vance said the shooting was justified and Good was a ‘victim of left-wing ideology.’
‘I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it is a tragedy of her own making,’ Vance said, noting that the officer who killed her was injured while making an arrest last June.
But state and local officials and protesters rejected that characterization, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey saying video recordings show the self-defense argument is ‘garbage.’
