ICE Agent Identified as Jonathan Ross, Who Killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis Confrontation with Protesters.
A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent has been identified as the officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good during a confrontation between protesters and federal agents in Minneapolis on Wednesday. According to court documents from an unrelated case, Jonathan Ross, 43, was a deportation officer based out of the agency's field office in St. Paul.
Ross had been with the agency since at least 2016. He previously suffered injuries while apprehending Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, an undocumented man who was later convicted of dragging Ross with his car. In June, Ross was injured again during a traffic incident while working.
Eyewitnesses claim that Good, 37, was shot in the head after telling her SUV to move away from protesters. "They killed my wife," said one witness. Video footage obtained by The Intercept shows Ross shooting into Good's vehicle three times before walking away, appearing uninjured.
The FBI refused to cooperate with the investigation, citing the need for access to evidence that is currently inaccessible due to classified nature of some of these items. As a result, Minnesota officials expressed frustration and a desire for state-level investigators to be brought in to review the incident.
This confrontation occurred after Immigration and Customs Enforcement initiated a surge of federal agents into the Twin Cities following a viral video targeting Somali Americans created by far-right influencers with ties to the Republican Party.
Local leaders have called for ICE to leave Minneapolis, labeling Trump's claim that ICE was sent for safety as a lie, stating it would create chaos and danger while tearing families apart.
President Donald Trump has also claimed that video footage from the scene showed Ross being run over by protesters, which contradicts The Intercept's analysis of the footage obtained.

. I mean, can you believe what happened to Renee Nicole Good? She was just trying to protect her family and move away from all that drama, and then she gets shot in the head by some ICE agent 
. It's just so senseless.
. I mean, what kind of person gets hurt so many times while trying to deport people? And then he has the nerve to walk away from the scene like nothing happened 
.
. Can't we just get some truth and justice for Renee's family? It's been too long since this happened 
. We need to keep pushing for accountability and making sure that no one else has to go through what they went through 
.
so some ice agent just happens to be walking around minneapolis with a gun, and next thing you know he's shot someone in the head. what was he even doing out there? and why did the fbi refuse to cooperate with the investigation? sounds like they're trying to cover their own behinds 
and now we've got the president claiming protesters ran him over... come on, don't believe everything you see online 
. The FBI's refusal to cooperate is sketchy, though – I hope the state-level investigation gets to the bottom of this. And come on, guys, let's not forget that protesters can get just as violent as law enforcement 
. We need a more nuanced conversation about safety and public order in Minneapolis 
.
this is getting crazy what is going on with ICE agents, they're just getting away with murder & nobody is holding them accountable 
it's so messed up that the FBI won't even cooperate with the investigation, can't they see this is all about protecting their own interests? 
meanwhile, local leaders are calling for ICE to leave Minneapolis & I'm like "good luck with that" we need more ppl speaking out against these injustices 
. We know the real reason behind this surge of agents: it's about targeting specific communities, not just enforcing laws 
. And can we talk about how the footage is being edited to fit their narrative? 
I'm no expert, but it looks like they're trying to shift the blame to the protesters, which is just not cool 
.
