Overview
- A 47‑second clip apparently recorded by the shooting officer, published by Alpha News and shared by DHS and Vice President J.D. Vance, shows agents approaching Renee Nicole Good’s SUV before the car moves and shots are fired, yet it does not clearly show the agent being struck.
- The administration says the agent fired in self-defense because the car was used as a weapon, while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and media analyses dispute that account, noting footage indicating the officer was to the side of the vehicle when he opened fire.
- Protests and vigils have spread nationally, with organizers expecting hundreds of events across the country this weekend and police reporting arrests during demonstrations in Minneapolis.
- Federal prosecutors assigned the FBI to lead the investigation, and tensions have escalated between Washington and Minnesota officials over the scope and transparency of the probe.
- Some outlets have named the officer as Jonathan Ross and cited a prior 2025 incident, but ICE has not officially confirmed his identity; Good, 37, later died from her injuries.
