Renee Good’s Family Speaks Out as ICE Shooting Probes Face Friction

Relatives say they have not viewed the viral footage, turning to a private autopsy that reported at least three gunshot wounds.

Overview

  • In new interviews, family members say they have avoided the widely shared video and recall Renee Good telling ICE officer Jonathan Ross, “I’m not mad at you,” moments before shots were fired.
  • A family-commissioned autopsy concluded Good was struck at least three times, reinforcing plans for further legal action.
  • Video reviewed by reporters shows an officer firing into Good’s SUV as it began to move; ICE characterizes the shooting as self-defense, a claim disputed by witnesses and questioned by Minneapolis’ mayor.
  • The family has retained civil-rights attorneys who represented George Floyd’s relatives and says they launched their own investigative efforts.
  • Investigations remain contested as Minnesota state police report restricted evidence access, DHS says its inquiry is ongoing, several federal prosecutors in Minnesota have departed, and the federal enforcement surge in the Twin Cities has been partially drawn down following Good’s death and the later killing of Alex Pretti.
