Final Words Of Renee Good Revealed In New Footage

Video recorded on a U.S. immigration officer’s phone has intensified scrutiny of the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. The footage appears to show the 37-year-old sitting calmly in her SUV and speaking with officers moments before an ICE agent fired.

The clip, obtained by Alpha News and later shared by the Department of Homeland Security, shows ICE officer Jonathan Ross walking around Good’s vehicle while recording on his phone. Sirens are audible, and the SUV is partially blocking traffic.

In the video verified by Reuters, Good briefly reverses her car and speaks through her open window. Her wife, Becca Good, is seen nearby filming the interaction and telling officers they are U.S. citizens, attempting to defuse the situation.

As the vehicle begins moving forward, Ross can be heard shouting “Whoa!” before gunshots ring out. The SUV then speeds away down the street. The footage has fueled debate over whether Good posed a threat at that moment.

Federal officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have argued the video supports claims that the officer’s life was in danger, describing the incident as self-defense. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey rejected that narrative, saying the footage does not support claims of “domestic terrorism.”

Additional videos cited in reporting suggest the officer fired while stepping back and that the vehicle may have already passed him when shots were fired. It remains unclear whether Ross was struck by the car.

The shooting has sparked protests and renewed calls for transparency in federal policing. For Good’s family, the case represents both a devastating loss and a broader fight over accountability and the use of lethal force.
