A cellphone video obtained by ABC News shows the moments leading up to the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. The 37-second video is believed to have been taken by one of the ICE agents who fired shots at Good's vehicle. In the video, Good can be heard saying "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you" as she tries to calm down with an ICE agent who is approaching her car.
The video shows the agent asking Good to get out of the car, which she does after reversing it and turning the steering wheel. The officer then fires several shots at Good's vehicle, causing it to crash into another car. Witnesses reported hearing a loud noise and seeing the car crash before rushing to Good's side.
Renee Good was 37 years old and had three children when she was shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Her death has sparked widespread outrage and protests, with many calling for accountability from the Trump administration.
The incident occurred during a wave of immigration enforcement sweepstakes in the Twin Cities area, which began on Tuesday and have seen over 2,000 officers involved and more than 1,500 arrests made so far.
Good's husband, Becca Good, released a statement after her death, saying that kindness "radiated out of her" and calling for people to show others a better way. The couple had stopped to support their neighbors at the time of the shooting, with whistles and other signs in hand.
The incident has also drawn attention to ICE's use-of-force policy, which is under investigation by local authorities. An official from Homeland Security defended the actions of the officer who shot Good, saying she used her vehicle as a weapon to attack him.
Critics, however, say that Good was not acting aggressively and that the shooting was unjustified. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey described the self-defense argument put forward by ICE officials as "garbage."

. seems 2 me like renée was actually pretty chill about the whole situation and she even gave the agent some space by gettin outta her car 
. also, that official from homeland security saying the officer used her vehicle as a weapon? i think thats kinda far fetched 
. i mean, if renée was actin aggressively or somethin, why would she be tryna calm down the agent instead of, like, runnin away or smthn 
. anywayz, gotta hear more about what really went down in that car before i jump 2 conclusions 
ICE should really review their use-of-force policy, it looks super unjustified... 
Becca's statement about kindness radiating out of her is still giving me chills 
watching this video is just heartbreaking. I keep thinking about Renee's kids, three little lives lost because of one bad decision. It's crazy how quickly something like this can escalate from a routine traffic stop to a senseless shooting. ICE's use-of-force policy just doesn't seem right, all this "self-defense" talk but it looks like they were the ones being aggressive from the start 
Minneapolis needs to get to the bottom of this ASAP. This whole thing just feels so unfair 
.
I'm telling ya, this whole thing is a perfect storm of systemic issues 
! First off, we gotta talk about the Trump administration's legacy of fear-mongering and anti-immigrant rhetoric 
. It's like they're pushing people around with a big stick, expecting them to just comply without any consequences 
.
? Are you kidding me?! That's just a cop-out! The real question here is why didn't the officer have backup or de-escalation training? It's clear that our immigration enforcement system needs a major overhaul 
.
. I mean, what's taking so long for folks to admit when they've made a mistake? We need transparency and accountability now 
.
an ice agent shoots down a mom of 3 kids because she's trying to calm him down and get out of her car... that's just not right. I'm so mad about this and it's like, what were they even thinking? the video shows her saying "that's fine dude i'm not mad at you" and still gets shot. and now people are talking about kind of self defense but come on, it's just ice being brutal. we need to hold these officers accountable for their actions 
. let's focus on holding these agents accountable for their actions, rather than making up excuses or blaming the victim.
Can you believe what's happening in this country?! 
Give me a break! The whole thing stinks of racial profiling and police brutality. And now we're supposed to believe that the officer's use-of-force policy is justified? 
my heart goes out to Renee's family & loved ones... it's so sad that an innocent life was lost. 
what's even more shocking is that she was just trying to calm down an officer, can't you imagine being in her shoes? 
. This whole thing needs to be investigated properly and some accountability needs to be had 
. I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff on those cell vids, but this takes the cake. Like, Renee Good is literally calming down with an ICE agent and then suddenly gets shot? 
I don't get why they're trying to spin this as self-defense when it's pretty clear she wasn't being aggressive. And what's up with the use-of-force policy, huh? It sounds like a recipe for disaster 
. I'm all for enforcing laws and stuff, but not at the expense of human life 
. We need to take a step back and re-evaluate our policies, 'cause this is just getting outta hand
