Overview
- Local reporting and court records link Ross to a June 17, 2025 incident in which he was dragged roughly 100 yards by a fleeing driver who was later convicted of assaulting a federal officer.
- Bystander video shows an officer ordering Renee Nicole Good to get out of her SUV before firing three shots into the vehicle, a sequence that has fueled challenges to the federal account.
- Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President J.D. Vance defended the shooting as self-defense, while Minneapolis officials rejected those assertions and criticized the rhetoric.
- The FBI is leading the probe and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has stepped back, drawing objections from state officials seeking access and oversight.
- Law-enforcement sources describe Ross as a roughly 10-year ICE veteran on the ERO Special Response Team, and reports suggesting a prior military background have not been independently verified.
