FBI Takes Over Probe After ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Woman

The FBI now leads the case after the state bureau withdrew over access concerns.

Overview

  • Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot by an ICE agent during a federal enforcement action in south Minneapolis and later died at a hospital, with police saying she was not the target of an investigation.
  • Bystander videos show agents at a stopped SUV and an officer firing at close range as the vehicle moved, visuals that have fueled sharply different interpretations of whether the shooting was self-defense.
  • DHS and ICE say the agent fired defensively after Good tried to use her vehicle as a weapon, a view echoed by President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who labeled the incident “domestic terrorism.”
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected the federal account as false after reviewing video, and Gov. Tim Walz criticized what he called a propaganda effort, with the National Guard placed on standby for potential unrest.
  • Protests continued in Minneapolis with reported clashes, chemical agents, and arrests near the Whipple Federal Building, schools closed as a precaution, and solidarity demonstrations appeared in other cities including San Francisco.
