Renee Good was a 37 year old American who was fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Jonathan Ross.[1][2][3][4]
ICE agents had been conducting disturbing searches in Minnesota, that triggered concern among civilians, due to abrogating everyone's Constitutional rights, and using excessive force. Many commentators believed the ICE agents violating various laws, like demanding the identity papers, of random people, in violation of their fourth amendment rights. Good and her wife had taken it upon themselves to impede the ice agents, and she had used their vehicle to partially block the road.
Ross circled her vehicle, and parked on the opposite side. When he got out of his vehicle, he circled it, filming it with his cell phone.[3]
The shooting was recorded by at least four cameras, including Ross's camera, and a neighbor's door cam.[3] What those video recordings show is highly disputed. President Donald Trump and senior officials in his administration, have stated Good ran him over. What is not in dispute is that he shot her multiple times, at point blank range.
After the shooting, as her car proceeded down the street, and crashed into a parked vehicle, Ross's cell phone camera records him saying "fucking bitch".[3]
Ross fled the scene.[3]
On January 15, YouTube lawyer Jeff Hampton published a video where he state that State authorities had initiated an appeal to have this case transferred to Minnesota courts.[5] He said that Minnesota authorities would apply the Minnesota Deadly Force Statute. Federal authorities were refusing to share evidence with State authorities.[4] Hampton questioned whether Ross's shooting would not be considered self-defense, under Minnesota law.
Darren Stone, YouTube's Legal Eagle, questioned whether Ross would be considered a peace officer, under Minnesota law.[4]
