MINNEAPOLIS — Newly released police, fire, and 911 reports provide a detailed look at the moments following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer on Jan. 7, an incident that has sparked nationwide protests.
According to the records obtained by NBC News, Good, 37, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was still alive when Minneapolis Fire Emergency Medical Services arrived. The reports describe her as “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity” after suffering apparent gunshot wounds to her chest, forearm, and face. Paramedics administered CPR and applied a tourniquet before transporting her to a local hospital, where resuscitation efforts ceased just under an hour later.
Footage, including video taken on the cellphone of ICE officer Jonathan Ross, shows Good in her vehicle interacting with officers. Multiple shots were fired as she attempted to drive away from the scene, striking her vehicle and causing it to crash into a parked car. The video captures the chaos of the moment, including honking cars, sirens, and protesters blowing whistles nearby.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem defended the officer’s actions, claiming Ross acted in self-defense and labeling Good a “domestic terrorist,” though no evidence has been cited. Ross reportedly sustained internal injuries during the incident and was treated at a federal facility before being released.
911 call logs reveal the immediate confusion at the scene. One caller reported, “They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car…. She’s f—— dead,” while another said, “I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there.” Multiple calls describe Good being shot through her windshield and the resulting crash.
The reports also detail confrontations between federal agents and bystanders following the shooting. Law enforcement noted agitators slashing tires, throwing snow and ice, and cutting crime scene tape. Border Patrol agents deployed pepper spray approximately 20 minutes after the incident. ICE officers departed the scene at 11:20 a.m., and the FBI arrived 11 minutes later to begin an investigation.
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said all ICE firearm discharges are subject to review by the agency and the appropriate investigative body, followed by an independent ICE review of the incident.
The shooting has intensified scrutiny of Operation Metro Surge, the Trump administration’s ongoing immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis, and has further strained tensions in a city still grappling with the legacy of past high-profile police and federal incidents.
