New video released by Alpha News fuels debate over ICE agent shooting Renee Good in Minneapolis

A new video linked to the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was posted on social media on Friday by Alpha News. The video is 47 seconds long and appears to be recorded on a mobile phone during the moments just before Good was fatally shot in Minneapolis.

The video seems to be filmed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who later fired at Good as she drove her SUV toward him on a residential street, according to the CNBC report.

ICE shooting video

The ICE agent involved in the shooting has been identified as Jonathan Ross, two sources familiar with the investigation told MS Now. In the video, the agent can be heard reacting as the SUV moves past him, saying, “Ohhhh!”.


After firing at Good, the agent is heard muttering, “F---ing bitch,” as captured in the video. The video begins with the ICE agent getting out of his vehicle, walking toward Good’s SUV, and blocking the road in front of her.

JD Vance reaction on X

Vice President JD Vance reposted the video on his X account and defended the ICE agent’s actions. JD Vance wrote, “Watch this, as hard as it is,” and claimed the officer’s life was endangered and that he fired in self-defense. Vance added that people were wrongly told the officer “wasn’t hit by a car” and “murdered an innocent woman,” saying those claims were false.

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, and other Democrats strongly rejected the Trump administration’s claim that Good tried to intentionally hit the ICE agent, as noted by CNBC. Some witnesses and observers said Good, a mother of three, was trying to steer around the agent after ICE officers told her to get out of the SUV. Protests and anger spread in Minneapolis after the killing, with many residents rejecting the Trump administration calling Renee Good a “domestic terrorist”.
