FBI Takes Control of Minneapolis ICE Shooting Investigation as Video Analyses Challenge Official Narrative

Independent reviews disputing the claim that an agent faced an oncoming vehicle have sharpened calls for a transparent federal inquiry.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot and killed when an ICE officer fired into her SUV during a Minneapolis enforcement action captured on bystander video.
  • DHS and senior officials say the officer fired in self-defense after Good “weaponized” her vehicle, a characterization contradicted by visual-forensics work from Bellingcat, the New York Times and the Washington Post.
  • The FBI is leading the case and, according to Minnesota authorities, has limited state investigators’ access to evidence, intensifying transparency concerns as no charges have been announced.
  • The shooter was identified in local reporting as Jonathan Ross, with court records noting he was dragged in a separate incident last year by a fleeing driver, according to the Star Tribune.
  • Protests and vigils have spread and Virginia senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner are demanding an independent probe, while fact-checkers corrected a widely shared photo that wrongly claimed to show Good.
