Video Shows Moments Before ICE Agent Fatally Shot Minneapolis Woman

Federal authorities have released body-camera and cellphone footage capturing the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by a federal immigration agent during a confrontation with officers.

The videos show Renee Good backing her vehicle away before accelerating forward toward an agent positioned in front of the car. The agent is heard saying “whoa” moments before multiple shots are fired. Good’s vehicle then continued down the street and crashed into a parked car roughly 100 feet away. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly afterward.

In a statement released Friday, Rebecca Good, her partner, said the couple had intentionally stopped near federal officers that day.

“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,” she said.

The shooting has triggered intense political backlash against the Donald Trump administration and renewed scrutiny of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Minneapolis.

Federal officials have stated that the agent acted in self-defense, describing the incident as an act of domestic terrorism. That characterization has been strongly disputed by Democratic officials, who argue the available video does not support the claim that the agent was struck by the vehicle.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, wrote in an op-ed for The New York Times that President Trump’s assertion that Good “ran him over” was false.

“I’ve watched multiple videos, from multiple perspectives,” Frey wrote. “It seems clear that Good was trying to leave the scene, not attack an agent.”

Federal authorities have emphasized the agent’s prior history, noting he was injured last year after being dragged by a fleeing vehicle in a separate incident. Officials said that event left him “scarred” and contributed to his perception of threat. However, video from Wednesday’s shooting shows the agent walking without visible impairment immediately afterward.

Law enforcement sources also said Good had been following and harassing ICE officers earlier that day. She was identified as a Minneapolis-based immigration activist affiliated with a group known as ICE Watch. According to federal officials, the group monitors and attempts to interfere with immigration enforcement operations and operates in multiple sanctuary cities nationwide.

Sources said Good became involved with ICE Watch after relocating to Minneapolis within the past year, later participating in what officials described as “ICE Watch Warrior” missions after forming relationships with parents at a charter school attended by her child.

As investigations continue, the incident remains defined by sharply conflicting interpretations—between claims of self-defense and assertions of excessive force—leaving the public to weigh incomplete evidence while broader questions about enforcement tactics, protest, and accountability remain unresolved.
