ICE Agent Fatally Shoots Minneapolis Motorist During Twin Cities Sweep

The shooting occurred during a deployment of more than 2,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities for an immigration crackdown.

Overview

  • The victim was identified by local reporting as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who died after being shot in her vehicle on a south Minneapolis street.
  • DHS says an ICE officer fired defensive shots after an attempt to run over agents, with officials reporting injured officers expected to recover and one treated and released.
  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz rejected the federal account after reviewing bystander video, with Walz placing the National Guard on alert.
  • Verified videos show an officer firing at close range as the SUV moved, with footage leaving unclear whether the vehicle struck the agent.
  • Protests grew in Minneapolis and other cities, and on Thursday demonstrators clashed with federal agents using chemical irritants as the FBI and Minnesota BCA lead the investigation.
