Officer Jonathan Ross is now a millionaire after a fatal shooting in Minnesota.
Massive Crowdfunding Totals
Supporters raised over $1 million for the 43-year-old ICE agent. The money came from sites like GoFundMe and GiveSendGo. The GoFundMe page alone received more than $747,000 from donors. Meanwhile, the GiveSendGo campaign raised over $279,000 for his defense.
Major Donors Contribute
Billionaire Bill Ackman was the top donor on the GoFundMe list. He gave $10,000 and called the January 7 shooting a tragedy. Over 21,000 people have donated to help the officer so far. However, most of these donors chose to remain anonymous.
Federal Investigations Pending
The FBI is currently looking into the death of Renee Nicole Good. Sources say Ross is unlikely to face any criminal charges. Also, the Department of Justice has not opened a civil rights probe. Then, investigators started looking into Good’s possible ties to activist groups.
Families Seek Justice
Good’s family hired a law firm that once represented George Floyd. They want the 37-year-old mother remembered as an agent of peace. Still, the Trump administration says Ross acted in self-defense. They claim he suffered internal bleeding when the car moved forward. Finally, Good’s family says she had no criminal past or history.
