Federal agent Jonathan Ross is now identified as the officer who shot Renee Nicole Good.
Iraq Veteran Unmasked
Jonathan E. Ross is a 43-year-old agent for Enforcement and Removal Operations. He is an Iraq veteran and a father of two. Ross has lived near Minneapolis since 2015. However, he has worked as an immigration officer since at least 2013.
Family Defends Actions
His father, Ed Ross, defended his son in a recent interview. He claimed a car hit his son during the incident. Also, he said another officer had an arm inside the vehicle. He described his son as a kind, conservative Christian.
“He will not be charged with anything.” Ed Ross stated.
Personal Life Details
Ross is married to a woman with Filipino parents. Neighbors say he previously flew pro-Trump and Gadsden flags. Meanwhile, his wife is described as very polite and outgoing. His sister once clashed with him online over political views.
Background and Injuries
Ross previously suffered injuries during a June arrest. An undocumented immigrant allegedly dragged him with a car. Vice President JD Vance mentioned this past event on Thursday. Still, local leaders in Minneapolis call the recent shooting a murder.
Conflict Over Shooting
ICE claims Good used her SUV as a deadly weapon. However, witnesses and Mayor Jacob Frey dispute this claim. Good was a mother of three who recently moved to Minnesota. Now, state officials want ICE to leave the area entirely.
