Cellphone Video Reveals ICE Agent's Final Moments Before Fatally Shooting Mother of Three
A harrowing 47-second cellphone video captured by a partisan media outlet has shed light on the final moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, an American mother of three, by an Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis.
As Good drove away with her children inside, a man can be heard using derogatory language towards her. The video shows the ICE agent filming from his phone as he approaches Good's car.
"Fine," she says calmly through the open driver window. "I'm not mad at you." However, when asked to show his face, another person can be seen holding her cellphone and scolding the masked agent.
"I don't change our plates every morning, just so you know. It will be the same plate when you come talk to us later," she says, revealing that they are a US citizen family. The situation quickly escalates as the ICE agent instructs Good's husband, Rebecca Good, to "get out of the car" – an order Rebecca Good refuses to follow.
The cellphone footage captures the tense standoff between the two families and raises serious questions about law enforcement protocol, particularly when it comes to vehicles moving towards officers. While some argue that the ICE officer was in genuine fear for his life, others contend that his actions were reckless and unjustified.
Minnesota officials have reacted strongly to the Trump administration's narrative surrounding Good's death, calling for an end to ICE operations within the city. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and protests, with residents demanding accountability from those responsible for the fatal shooting.

this is super troubling footage... i dont think there should be any excuse for a law enforcement officer to shoot someone who's just trying to leave the scene peacefully. it sounds like the agent was in the wrong and his fear of 'revenge' shouldn't have led him to take such drastic action 
. the fact that the woman knows she and her family are US citizens, so they're not in any kind of immigration trouble... just highlights how messed up this whole situation is 
. i think we need to really look at our laws and protocols around law enforcement interactions with vehicles, especially when it comes to people who may not be aware that their actions could escalate the situation so quickly 
.
This is just so heartbreaking, a mom of three was just trying to live her life while being profiled by the authorities... It's like they thought she was hiding something or not following the rules... 
The footage shows how tense and scary it must've been for Renee and her kids, and Rebecca trying to protect them is really brave 
. We need to make sure our law enforcement officers are trained to handle situations like this with care and respect, not with aggression and fear 
. The fact that the ICE agent was filming from his phone while approaching the car is also super concerning... did he really think he had control over the situation? 
... what kinda training do you need to be able to tell when someone is being reasonable and when they're not? i mean, this guy's just trying to do his job and renee good is calm and respectful... it's not even like she's resisting or anything. but no, he has to go and shoot her anyway 
... and what's with the whole "show your face" thing? that's just ridiculous... can't we all just get along? 
meanwhile we got people out here saying the agent was in fear for his life but like that doesn't excuse using your power to hurt someone. 
. We need to see justice served here and for it to be known that actions like this will not be tolerated anymore.
this is so messed up... I mean i'm glad people are speaking out and demanding answers but at the same time how did it come to this? an ice agent just shoots a mom of three without even seeing her face... and now we're talking about law enforcement protocol like this wasn't a setup from the start. i feel for the family and their kids but also i don't know what's gonna happen next 
. I mean, showing his face and all that racist language? No, no, no! 
This is why we need stricter laws on police brutality & corruption 
. The fact that there's this guy, ICE agent or whatever, being all racist and stuff on camera is wild 
. I mean, I'm not buying the whole "fear for his life" thing... it sounds like he was just trying to bully her family 
.
Newsflash: being scared doesn't give you the right to pull the trigger and kill someone. That's just basic human decency 
#SystemicInjustice. We need real change, not just empty apologies from politicians who are more interested in their own careers than in keeping our communities safe and just 
#JusticeForAll.
. This whole situation feels really unfair and unjust, and I can see why there are protests and outrage happening everywhere. We need some real answers here about what happened and how we can prevent something like this from ever happening again 
What kind of protocol allows for this kind of behavior? And what about Rebecca Good's husband, refusing to get out of the car when told to do so? 
The fact that the Trump administration is still trying to spin this as some kind of 'fear for his life' thing is just ridiculous. There needs to be real accountability taken here 
.
and then he ends up killing her over a plate issue... it's just ridiculous. i don't buy that he was in genuine fear for his life, there's gotta be more to this story. and now minnesota officials are all like nope we're shutting down ICE ops here too, but what about the agent who killed that mom? shouldn't someone be held accountable for their actions? 
That takes a lot of strength and class.
They were like two peas in a pod, refusing to back down from those ICE agents. It's amazing how much love and support they had for each other.
. i dont care if hes got a badge or not, hes still human and he shouldntve done this. the video is super harrowing, its hard to watch. my heart goes out to Renee's fam, they must be going thru so much 
I guess we'll have to wait for some answers on this one...
️ yet. Can't we just focus on keeping our communities safe without resorting to finger-pointing and blame-shifting?
I mean, I'm no expert, but it seems like this guy had all the time in the world to make a split-second decision that killed someone. Maybe we should focus on how to prevent these kinds of situations from happening in the first place instead of getting bogged down in "he said, she said" dramas.
– let's get this accountability going and make sure something like this never happens again
