NEW footage shows Renee Nicole Good “dancing” and blocking ICE agents with her car for over three minutes before she was shot dead in Minneapolis.
The fresh clip appears to show Good’s vehicle parked diagonally across the street, obstructing traffic near an immigration operation in the moments leading up to her death.
In the video, posted by the Department of Homeland Security on X on Saturday, horns can be heard blaring as Good shuffles side to side in the driver’s seat.
She appeared to be “dancing” in the car as her maroon Honda Pilot was stopped about 100 feet from an ICE enforcement operation, one X user suggested.
DHS said the new footage proved Good “was STALKING and IMPEDING a law enforcement operation over the course of the morning”.
They said on social media: “The media continues to fail the American people in their reporting on the events in Minneapolis.
“The evidence speaks for itself. The legacy media has lost the trust of the American people.”
The clip was recorded from across the street, with the footage starting just minutes before the deadly shooting unfolded.
Federal agents could be seen approaching Good’s car while passers-by shouted nearby.
Like other videos which have already emerged on social media, Good was seen waving other cars past her during the standoff.
At least five cars drove past her before a grey pickup truck carrying ICE officers showed up and turned on its sirens.
The agents are seen encircling Good’s car towards the end of the clip, as other angles of the encounter have shown.
Just as the fatal shooting takes place, the newly-surfaced footage abruptly ends.
It comes after different footage taken by the ICE officer who killed Good showed the clearest view yet of the dramatic clash seconds before he opened fire.
The clip showedagent Jonathan Rosscircling the car while being confronted byGoodand her wife, who could be heard screaming “drive baby,” seconds before the fatal encounter.
The video, released byAlpha News, was taken on a cellphone and captures the “perspective of the federal agent at the center of the ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis,” the outlet reported.
The clip showed Good stopped in her Honda on Wednesday morning as she was approached by the agents.
The mom-of-three appeared to smile and say: “That’s fine dude. I’m not mad.”
Ross then walked just inches away from her open driver’s side window.
Meanwhile, Good’s wife Rebecca, 40, stood feet away and could be heard provoking the agent and yelling at him to “show his face”.
“You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy,” Rebecca could be heard saying as she films the encounter.
“Go ahead,” she continued while the agent remained silent.
As seen in other videos from the scene, two more officers approach the Honda and scream for Good to get out of the car.
As they do, Rebecca can be seen trying to open the front passenger side door, which is locked, before shouting at Good: “Drive, baby, drive, drive.”
Good can be seen backing up and turning her steering wheel to the right before accelerating forward.
The moment she does, three gunshots can be heard along what appears to be a crunching sound.
As the car speeds down the street, a man’s voice is heard saying “f**king b***h” before the out-of-control Honda rams into a parked car with the engine still revving.
In other videos taken at the scene, Ross is seen walking alone towards the crash after the shooting.
The newly released clip was also shared after CCTV showed that Good apparently had been blocking the road with her car for four minutes,CNNfirst reported.
Soon after the video was published, Vice President JD Vance shared it on X, and said it was proof that Good was an aggressor who put the lives of ICE agents at risk.
He and other federal officials have deemed Good a “domestic terrorist” for striking Ross with her car. They’ve argued that he shot her in self-defense.
Meanwhile, local officials have questioned this reasoning, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey boldly calling it “bulls**t.”
Good’s wife broke her silence before the latest video was released, and described the victim as a Christian who exuded “pure love” and “pure sunshine.”
“On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbors,” she wrote, appearing to reference an anti-ICE protest that had been taking place before the shooting.
“We had whistles. They had guns.”
A GoFundMe started to amass funds for Rebecca and Good’s children had amassed $1.5 million as of Friday.
The FBI is leading the investigation into the shooting, and local lawmakers have made a desperate plea for transparency as the probe is launched.
On Friday, Minnesota prosecutors announced they would be conducting their own independent review into Good’s killing.
They told the public that state attorneys have the right to consider criminal charges against federal agents, but are asking for access to files controlled by the FBI.
Without the federal investigation materials, prosecutors fear their review could be arduous.
Meanwhile, asfiery protests heat up in the city, Governor Tim Walz has announced that he will have the Minnesota National Guard on standby for deployment.
Could ICE agent face charges over Minneapolis shooting?
By Senior News Reporter Israel Salas-Rodriguez
THE shocking fatal shooting of a US citizen by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer has sparked a political firestorm over whether the federal agent should face criminal charges.
Tensions remain high in Minneapolis after the death ofRenee Nicole Good, who was shot andkilled by an ICE officera short distance north from where the highly politicized killing ofGeorge Floydtook place in 2020.
Neama Rahmani, a former federal prosecutor, who is not involved in the investigation, told The U.S. Sun that it is unlikely federal prosecutors will file charges against the ICE officer.
“The DOJ will not prosecute the ICE agent in today’s political climate,” Rahmani said.
“Regardless of what the FBI concludes, charging decisions are made by prosecutors. I can’t see [Pam] Bondi charging when President Trump, Vice President Vance, and DHS Secretary Noem have already come to the agent’s defense.”
Eric Faddis, a criminal defense attorney based in Colorado, agreed with Rahmani’s sentiment, arguing that the “political climate of the day” suggests if the ICE officer would be charged, it would be at state court.
Despite the DOJ moving to block state officials from probing the case, Rahmani said the door is not entirely shut for Minnesota representatives to file charges against the ICE officer.
“The state can still conduct its own independent investigation,” Rahmani told The U.S. Sun.
“They can convene a grand jury, subpoena witnesses and evidence, obtain and execute search warrants, etc.
“They are dual sovereigns, so the federal government can’t prevent them from doing this.”
Rahmani said that if state prosecutors decide to indict the federal agent they would likely charge him with “second (malice) or third-degree murder or manslaughter under Minnesota law.”
Faddis, the Colorado-based criminal attorney, agreed, adding, “A state court can charge anybody for whom they believe there’s probable cause that they’ committed a violation of state law.”
“Certainly, an unlawful killing, if prosecutors deem it as such, could result in state charges against the ICE officer for some level of homicide.
“My guess, if they did proceed with charges, it would probably be something along the lines of second-degree murder instead of first, or even a lesser variety of homicide.”
When asked based on the video evidence circulating on social media, if Good could have faced charges if she had survived, both attorneys agreed the victim committed several offenses.
Faddis said, if authorities conducted Good used her vehicle as a weapon, she could have been charged with “vehicular assault, simple assault, also potentially face charges for eluding an officer or obstructing law enforcement activity.”
Rahmani added, “Had she survived, Good could have been charged with obstruction or assault.”
However, Rahmani said he expects Good’s family to file a civil lawsuit.
“Agents can use deadly force only when they or others are at imminent risk of death or serious bodily injury,” he said, adding, “They can’t shoot someone to make an arrest or simply because they are fleeing.”
