A video recorded from the mobile phone of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who shot an American woman in Minneapolis revealed new details about the event this Friday from a previously unknown perspective.
The video, first reported by Alpha News, was recorded, as confirmed by CNN, with the phone of the ICE agent who ended the life of Renee Good last Wednesday, identified by several outlets as Jonathan Ross.
The sequence, which lasts less than a minute, shows the moments leading up to the shooting from the closest possible perspective.
The footage begins with Ross approaching Good's vehicle, which was positioned across the road to block the ICE agent's path.
"It's okay. I'm not mad at you," she says to him.
The agent records the woman's burgundy car from different angles and encounters another woman upon reaching the license plate area, identified as the now-widow, Becca Good. She confirmed in a statement that she was there with her wife.
"We don't change our license plates every morning, just so you know. This will be the same license plate when you come to talk to us later," Becca told the agent while filming him and insisting he show his face.
"You want to come for us? You'd better go get some food, big guy," the wife retorted.
Meanwhile, another agent appears on the other side of the car and asks Renee Good to get out of the vehicle.
At this moment, she begins to maneuver to leave, and Ross positions himself in front of her to block her path.
The agent shouts in surprise and opens fire on her.
Following images blurred by Ross's movement, the woman's vehicle is seen crashing into a street pole.
The video has circulated on social media and reignited the debate between those who believe the agent acted to protect himself because he thought the woman was going to hit him with the car—a narrative defended by the Donald Trump administration—and those who assert that she was only trying to escape, based on the movement of Good's vehicle wheels, which, as seen in other videos, were directed toward a space on the road where the agent was not located.
"Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told that this law enforcement officer was not hit by a car, was not being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was in danger and he fired in self-defense," wrote Vice President JD Vance regarding the incident.
