ICE Agent Shooting in Minneapolis: 911 Transcripts Expose Fatal Encounter
Newly released records from police and emergency operators shed light on the tragic events that unfolded in Minneapolis. The incident involved ICE agent Jonathan Ross opening fire on Renee Good, leading to her death. The 911 call transcripts, which run across 60 pages, reveal chilling details about the crackdown that turned fatal.
Details of the Shooting Emerge from 911 Calls
The transcripts confirm that Renee Good was shot four times during the encounter. She sustained two gunshot wounds to her right chest, another on her left forearm, and a fourth shot on the left side of her head. Witnesses who saw ICE agent Jonathan Ross firing at Good immediately called 911 to report the incident.
One caller told dispatchers, "There’s 15 ICE agents, and they shot her, like, cause she wouldn’t open her car door." Another 911 caller added, "She tried to drive away, but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked." A third caller echoed similar sentiments, stating that "they shot her [because] she wouldn’t open her car door."
Timeline of the Emergency Response
The first 911 call came in at 9:38 am on January 7, right after the initial shot was fired. Paramedics arrived at the scene just four minutes later, at 9:42 am. They found Renee Good unresponsive, not breathing, and with an irregular pulse.
Medics quickly placed her inside an ambulance and began performing CPR while en route to the hospital. Despite their efforts, resuscitation attempts were stopped around 10:30 am. Jonathan Ross, identified as the ICE agent who shot Good, remained at the scene according to a Minneapolis Police Department report. About 15 minutes later, authorities took him to a federal building.
Family Seeks Justice Through Civil Investigation
Renee Good's family has announced a civil investigation into her death. They are represented by the law firm Romanucci & Blandin, which also handled George Floyd's family case after his death in May 2020. In a statement to ABC News, the family expressed their desire for peace and transparency as they seek answers about the circumstances leading to Good's fatal shooting.
The family attorneys stated, "What happened to Renee is wrong, contrary to established policing practices and procedures, and should never happen in today’s America." They emphasized that "Be Good" represents both Renee's wish to the world and their mission to seek accountability while honoring her life through progress toward a kinder society.
The New York Times originally reported on the witness accounts from the 911 calls, highlighting the public's immediate response to the shooting. This case continues to draw attention as details emerge from the extensive documentation of that fateful January morning.
