Cellphone Video Reveals Calm Moment Before ICE Agent Fatally Shot Renee Good as She Drives Away
A disturbing cellphone video has surfaced, showing the moment before an on-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis. The 47-second clip captured by Donald Trump's White House and shared on X shows Good calmly driving away with her license plate visible to the camera.
The footage begins with Good speaking through an open driver's window, saying "That's fine, dude" as a masked ICE agent approaches her car. She then appears to say "I'm not mad at you," which is corroborated by another person in the video. The agent's reflection becomes visible on the side of the car as his voice can be heard exclaiming "Fucking bitch."
The clip shows Good's wife, Rebecca Good, trying to intervene and warning the agents that she wouldn't change her license plate every morning. She also identifies herself as a US citizen and tells the agents to leave them alone.
As the agents approach Good's car, they can be heard shouting for her to get out of the vehicle. The clip then shows Good backing up and driving forward while turning to her right. The agent's phone is seen pointing skyward before gunshots erupt, killing Good.
The footage has raised questions about the circumstances surrounding Good's death and the actions of the ICE agents involved. At least one major law enforcement agency restricts officers from firing at cars coming towards them if the drivers or passengers aren't wielding a second form of force.
Rebecca Good published a statement after her wife's death, expressing her love and compassion for Renee and highlighting the importance of kindness and compassion. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and protests in Minneapolis, with some congressional Democrats threatening to withhold funding from the Department of Homeland Security.
The identity of the ICE agent who killed Good has been identified as Jonathan E Ross, a 10-year veteran of the special response team. His actions have been questioned by many, including Vice President Mike Pence, who has acknowledged that Good's death is a tragedy but also asserted that the agent acted in self-defense.

This cellphone video is so haunting and disturbing it's hard to watch. I mean, can you believe what happened? Renee Nicole Good was just driving away with her license plate visible, talking calmly to this masked ICE agent, when suddenly he's yelling obscenities and freaking out. And then...gunshots. It's like something out of a nightmare. The fact that his phone is pointed skyward before the shooting makes it look like he was trying to point the gun at Renee, not protect her. 
We need to keep pushing for change and making sure that our law enforcement agencies are held accountable for their actions.
. I mean, good on Rebecca for standing up for herself and her wife, though. She totally has every right to be upset. And honestly, who does the guy have to be yelling at Renee like that? "Fucking bitch" or whatever... just classless 
. The fact that this happened in broad daylight is just wild. I'm all for the outrage and protests – we need more people speaking up about this kind of thing. And can we please get some answers on what actually went down here? It's not like they're going to just roll over and say "oh, we made a mistake" 
.
i cant even believe what im seeing rn. Renee was just driving away minding her own bizness and then this ice agent comes outta nowhere, yelling at her thru the window... it's like, whats going on here? why didnt they just walk up to her instead of pulling a gun? 
and the way they're speaking to her is straight-up unacceptable - i mean, 'fucking bitch'? come on. anyway, my heart goes out to rebecca good and everyone affected by this tragedy... we need more kindness and compassion in our world 
... I mean what was going through that ICE agent's head? 
And for what? Because she wouldn't change her license plate every morning? That doesn't even make sense. 
I'm so glad there's a video of that moment, it really highlights how reckless and unprofessional those agents were. 
My heart goes out to Renee and her wife, Rebecca. This is just so senseless and avoidable if only they had treated each other with kindness and respect. 
This cellphone video is just heartbreaking - I mean, it shows Renee Nicole Good calmly driving away with her license plate visible, and then she's just talking to the agents like everything's fine, when suddenly this officer goes off on a tirade and ends up killing her. 
And I think it's great that some congressional Democrats are speaking out against the Department of Homeland Security funding cuts.
. The fact that Rebecca tried to intervene and stood up for herself, that's so admirable 
.
. I mean, can't we just ask questions and try to understand what happened here? It feels like there's a lot of 'he said, she said' going on without really getting to the bottom of it 
.
. We all have a right to know how things went down in this situation, especially when it involves someone's life 
.
. And that cellphone video, it's like a punch in the gut - you see the whole thing unfolding before your eyes. I mean, who says that kind of thing out loud? 
and what's with all these questions about self-defense? if you're gonna pull a gun, then actually do something about it, don't just point it at someone and fire away like a try-hard cop! 
this is so messed up... i cant even imagine how renee good was feeling in those last seconds of her life 
. i think we need to have a serious conversation about police accountability and the use of force in situations like this 
. it's not just about "self-defense" when you're firing at someone who's driving away from you 
... something needs to change ASAP 
.
. And don't even get me started on the fact that they were yelling at her to get out of the car before shooting her 
. Rebecca Good's statement about kindness and compassion is so beautiful right now 
.
. It's no wonder people are protesting... this whole situation needs to be looked into, like seriously 
I mean, if he was really scared for his life, wouldn't he have tried to de-escalate the situation instead of pulling out his gun? The whole thing is just a mess... RIP Renee 
. I don't know what kind of training that dude got, but it doesn't seem like it included not shooting people who aren't a threat to them 
. We need to be talking about how we can make our communities safer for everyone, not just the powerful and rich 
Can't they just try to de-escalate the situation instead of escalating it with gunshots?! 
Not buying it. 
this is just heartbreaking... I cant believe the police were chasing Renee down like she was some kinda fugitive & they ended up killing her 
it's not like Renee did anything wrong, she was just driving away from them... 
I don't think the fact that she said "I'm not mad at you" makes a difference when one of her own is shooting at her car 
it's so calm and peaceful, like a slow-motion underwater dance. i mean, can you imagine being down there with those massive tentacles all around you? anyway, back to ice agents... i'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. 10 years on the job and this is what happens?
