New reports say Renee Good still had a pulse after being shot by ICE — medics were delayed

Recent analysis has raised critical questions about the emergency response after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman who was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on January 7. The findings, disclosed by Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) News, are based on a comprehensive review of clips, 911 calls, fire department records, and dispatch logs, providing a clearer understanding of what occurred in the critical minutes following the incident.

Signs of Life Detected Minutes After the Shooting

According to MPR’s analysis, Good was not instantly deceased when first responders came. Records indicate that she still had a pulse stated as “thready and irregular” almost six minutes following the incident, when firefighters finally reached her. This information has become a major point in growing concerns about whether timely medical treatment could have been made.



The review also discovered that over 10 minutes passed before CPR was initiated, despite the presence of ICE agents being trained in the basic lifesaving process. CPR, which is utilized when a person’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped, was not used during this time after the shooting by ICE officer Jonathan Ross. The delay has initiated questions about adherence to standard emergency response protocols.

Physician Allegedly Blocked From Providing Aid

Video proof and witness accounts examined by MPR indicate that a self-identified physician provided to assist Good but was blocked from doing so. “Is somebody that’s medically trained pronouncing this woman dead?” the man asked, according to the analysis. ICE agents reportedly swore at him and denied his access to the scene, preventing any external medical intervention from being offered.

Emergency Services Contacted After Critical Delay

MPR’s investigation further disclosed that ICE agents waited almost three minutes following the shooting before reaching emergency services in Minneapolis. When calls from bystanders were gradually received, police, ambulance, and fire crews faced difficulties in reaching the site. The street was congested with vehicles, several of which belonged to ICE, slowing access for first responders during a critical period.

Medical Experts Voice Alarm Over Response

Medical professionals have shown intense concern over the lack of instant care. “I'm just appalled by the lack of immediate first aid and initial resuscitation attempts,” stated Adam Armbruster, a family medicine doctor and emergency room physician at Sleepy Eye Medical Center in southern Minnesota, in remarks to MPR News. “That’s the part that is, I would say, most inadequate to me.”
