Doc Rivers Calls Minneapolis ICE Shooting 'Straight-Up Murder'

His remarks follow disputes over the shooting after officials cited new video to argue self-defense.

Overview

  • Speaking after Milwaukee’s Jan. 9 win in Los Angeles, Rivers condemned ICE and described the killing of Renée Nicole Good as “straight-up murder.”
  • Good, 37, was shot and killed on Jan. 7 in south Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement operation by an ICE agent identified as Jonathan Ross.
  • Department of Homeland Security and Trump administration officials contend the agent acted in self-defense, saying Good drove her SUV toward officers, and an agent-view video was released Friday.
  • Other videos and witness accounts present different views, local leaders have demanded investigations, and Minneapolis Public Schools canceled classes as protests and vigils unfolded.
  • Golden State coach Steve Kerr also called the killing “murder,” while commentators at outlets like OutKick argued that label is premature and pointed to the newly released footage.
