Minneapolis, Minnesota — The death of Renee Good, who was shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on January 7, has been officially classified as a homicide. The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office reported that Good died from multiple gunshot wounds.
Good was shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while she was driving her Honda Pilot. The incident caused her vehicle to veer off course and eventually crash. An incident report from Minneapolis fire and police departments indicated that Good was discovered unresponsive in her vehicle with visible injuries around 9:42 a.m. on that day.
The report detailed that Good sustained two gunshot wounds to her right chest, one on her left forearm, and a possible wound to the left side of her head. Medical personnel also noted blood seeping from her left ear when they arrived on the scene.
Antonio Romanucci, an attorney representing Good’s family, expressed concern over the lack of communication from the Medical Examiner’s Office regarding the investigation. He confirmed that the family is awaiting a full autopsy report and urged officials to share their findings with them before making additional information public.
“Our family is deeply impacted by this tragedy. We hope for transparency in this investigation,” Romanucci stated, emphasizing the family’s desire for clear communication about the case.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting have generated significant controversy. Federal authorities assert that Good attempted to use her vehicle as a weapon, a claim that has been staunchly contested by local officials and Good’s family. The family’s narrative portrays a vastly different reality, arguing that the actions taken by the ICE agent were unjustified.
Renee Good was a mother of three who had recently relocated to Minneapolis with her partner, Becca. The tragedy has drawn attention not just to her death but also to broader issues related to the use of force by federal agents.
Romanucci, known for his advocacy in high-profile cases, previously secured a notable $27 million settlement for the family of George Floyd. His involvement with Good’s family underscores a continued commitment to seeking justice in instances of alleged police misconduct.
As the investigation unfolds, the community remains engaged and concerned about the implications of this incident. Calls for accountability and reform in law enforcement practices echo amid the growing outcry for justice for Renee Good.
