A Minneapolis Police squad car at the scene of the Renee Good killing. On January 7, 2026, 37-year-old Renée Nicole Good was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Video recorded by bystanders showed Good attempting to drive away as agents surrounded her vehicle before an ICE agent fired multiple shots into the SUV. Federal officials claimed the shooting was justified because the agent feared being struck by the vehicle, while witnesses, local officials, and independent video analyses questioned that account and called for further investigation. Good, a Minneapolis resident, and community advocate, was remembered by family and supporters as compassionate and deeply involved in supporting immigrant communities. Her death sparked large protests across Minneapolis and intensified national debate over immigration enforcement, the use of federal agents in local operations, and the expanding role of ICE under the Trump administration. The ICE agent that shot Renee Good has been identified as Jonathan Ross of Chaska, Minnesota.
