New Twist in Killing
The fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good on January 7 has sparked national protests. A new revelation about the ICE agent involved is now changing the case.
Deadly Encounter Details
Renee Nicole Good died behind the wheel of her SUV in Minneapolis. An ICE agent fired three shots at the 37-year-old mother. Video shows the vehicle moving as the officer stood near the front. Her wife filmed the confrontation just seconds before the shots rang out. President Trump later called the shooting a justified act of self-defense.
Agent’s Prior Injury
Court records show agent Jonathan Ross was injured six months ago. In June 2025, a different driver dragged Ross along the street. The agent needed over 50 stitches on his arm after that event. His defense may use this past trauma to justify his recent actions. They will argue he perceived the moving car as a deadly threat.
Federal Immunity Claims
Vice President JD Vance claimed the agent has absolute immunity from prosecution. However, constitutional experts say this claim is not legally accurate. Federal agents can face state charges for crimes committed on the job. Still, the Trump administration says federal prosecution will not happen. Attorney General Keith Ellison is currently collecting evidence for the case.
Difficult Legal Battle
Experts say criminal charges against Ross are highly unlikely. The FBI withdrew from the joint investigation with state authorities. This limits the access Minnesota has to crucial evidence. Also, prosecutors must prove the agent’s actions were not reasonable.
