Outrage erupts over new Renee Good shooting footage when people notice an unexpected detail
The fatal shooting of a Minnesota mother by federal immigration officers has sparked widespread outrage across the United States. Newly released video footage has intensified scrutiny of what happened in the moments before shots were fired.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, a mother of three, was killed in Minneapolis during an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Federal authorities claimed she posed a serious threat, alleging she attempted to use her SUV as a weapon, a claim echoed by Donald Trump.
Video shared online has fueled skepticism toward that account. The footage shows officers surrounding Good’s vehicle as one agent tries to open the driver’s door, after which she attempts to leave the scene.
Viewers point out that the SUV’s wheels were turned away from the officer. As the vehicle reverses, it appears to lightly contact him before an agent fires through the windshield, followed by additional shots as the car moves forward and crashes shortly afterward.
Public reaction was swift and intense. Many argue the video shows panic rather than aggression, accusing officers of using excessive force. Several elected officials condemned the shooting after reviewing the footage.
Good’s family and friends described her as kind, creative, and nonviolent. She was a U.S. citizen with no serious criminal history and had dropped her child at school just hours before the incident.
Federal officials defended the agent’s actions, stating no charges will be filed. As memorials grow at the scene, the case has become a focal point in national debates over law enforcement authority and accountability.
