What the family’s independent autopsy found

• The family commissioned an independent autopsy that confirmed multiple gunshot wounds, including shots to Good’s forearm, chest and a fatal head wound. These findings broadly align with initial emergency responder reports.
• Some reports suggest there may have been four wounds, with a possible graze wound in addition to three clear shots.

What happened in the shooting

• On January 7, 2026, Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot and killed in Minneapolis by a federal immigration agent during an ICE operation.
• Officials say she was shot by the agent identified as Jonathan Ross.
• Federal authorities have described the shooting as self-defense; critics and video evidence cited in reporting have challenged that account.

Legal and investigatory context

• Good’s family retained a civil rights-experienced legal team and sought the independent autopsy to ensure transparency and a fuller understanding of the circumstances surrounding her death.
• Official investigations continue. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s report hasn’t been released yet and may take weeks.
• Federal prosecutors have issued grand jury subpoenas for records from Minnesota officials, and there is dispute between federal and local authorities about evidence access and cooperation.
• Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Justice has declined to pursue a criminal investigation of the agent’s actions, a decision that has prompted criticism and resignations among prosecutors.

Community and family response

• As public attention has grown, supporters have held vigils and fundraisers, and activists have called for broader review of law enforcement practices.
• Good’s loved ones, including her wife Becca, emphasize that she was a devoted mother, partner, and compassionate community member. They want her life and character to remain central to public conversation, not just the circumstances of her death.

Why this matters

This case has become a focal point for debates over the use of force by federal law enforcement, transparency in investigations involving government agents, and how communities seek accountability when a loved one dies in a police or federal operation. Public scrutiny and ongoing legal review are shaping how officials, advocates, and the broader public understand both the incident and its wider implications.
