Crystal-clear new footage shows the moments leading up to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, filmed by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot her.
Good, 37, could be seen smiling at Jonathan ‘Jon’ Ross while sitting in her Honda Pilot on Wednesday afternoon and saying, ‘That’s fine dude. I’m not mad at you,’ in a video shot by the officer that was obtained by Minnesota outlet Alpha News.
Her wife, Rebecca Good, 40, could be heard urging the agent to ‘show his face’ as she asks him, ‘You want to come at us?’
‘You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch big boy,’ Rebecca said, with her own cellphone in hand. ‘Go ahead.’
As the tension mounted on the Minneapolis street, Good was told to get out of the car but ignored the order.
She began revving the engine and drove off during what the Trump administration says was part of a protest against the planned detention of Somali migrants in the area.
Rebecca can be heard shouting ‘drive baby, drive’ as Ross’s camera jerked. It is unclear if he was struck by the car or jumped to get out of its way.
Ross fired three shots, including one through the front windshield of the Honda, which struck and killed Good. An agent is heard calling Good a ‘f***ing b***h’ as shots rang out.
Moments later, her car crashed into the back of two vehicles parked nearby. The shocking chain of events quickly divided the United States.

Ross shot Good six months after he was dragged 100 yards by a car in a separate incident
Ross’s cellphone footage was unveiled just hours after surveillance footage was released, showing how Good apparently blocked the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was shot dead.
The video shows how about 20 seconds after the mother of three’s maroon Honda Pilot pulled up to the street, a passenger – believed to be her wife Rebecca Good – exited the vehicle and eventually began filming.
Good then repositioned the SUV, seemingly blocking the street. The grainy video, however, shows that other cars were still able to pass around her.
Ross then arrived on the scene and was quickly joined by other federal agents who surrounded Good’s vehicle.
A federal agent began to grab at her door, allegedly ordering her to get out of the SUV. Good seemingly pulled the car forward and Ross fired three shots at her in quick succession, before she drove off.
Neither of the newly released videos show the immediate aftermath of the deadly shooting in which Good lost control at the wheel and crashed.
There is speculation that Rebecca, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents. She was seen wielding her camera during Ross’s confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started to record.

Ross has been branded a ‘murderer’ by furious Democrats but has enjoyed the full support of the Trump administration, who argue he acted in self-defense when it appeared Good intended to run him down with her car.
Good’s friends told The New York Post that the mother-of-three was part of a network of activists coordinated through her six-year-old son’s charter school who were actively resisting ICE.
According to the publication, Southside Family Charter School has publicly boasted of having a ‘social justice first’ approach to learning and ‘involving kids in political and social activism’.
Good and her wife Rebecca moved to the area just last year and enrolled their six-year-old boy in classes at the school.
They are understood to have fled the US after Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 election, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.
Good is a registered voter but her party affiliation is not listed in public records. No records about Rebecca’s voting history were publicly available.
Witnesses have claimed Good and Rebecca were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.
Rebecca, in harrowing footage captured at the scene, admitted she encouraged Good to confront agents. ‘I made her come down here, it’s my fault,’ she cried.
But Good’s mother, Donna Ganger, has denied reports that her daughter would have been ‘part of anything like’ the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.

Ross is an ‘experienced’ officer who last year suffered gruesome injuries as he tried to arrest an illegal immigrant sex offender.
The previous incident in which Officer Ross was dragged by a car took place in Bloomington, Minnesota, and the officer suffered a serious injury to his right arm, which required 20 stitches.
The Trump administration has repeatedly characterized the shooting as an act of self-defense and cast Good as a villain, suggesting she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack the officer who shot her.
Vice President JD Vance said the shooting was justified and Good was a ‘victim of left-wing ideology.’
‘I can believe that her death is a tragedy while also recognizing that it is a tragedy of her own making,’ Vance said, noting that the officer who killed her was injured while making an arrest last June.
But state and local officials and protesters rejected that characterization, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey saying video recordings show the self-defense argument is ‘garbage.’
