ICE agent Jonathan Ross who shot Renee Good in his own words

Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot dead Renee Good in Minneapolis, still has physical scars from being dragged by a suspect fleeing in a car six months ago and thought he might die in that incident, the Daily Mail can reveal.

The 43-year-old revealed in his own words to a court how he 'feared for my life' during the previous incident and was left in 'very excruciating pain.'

He publicly showed his scars from the encounter to a court last month as he described being dragged for 12 seconds by a car he estimated was traveling at speeds of up to 40mph for 100 yards.

His arm got trapped in the moving vehicle's window and his injuries required 33 stitches, he said.

Ross told the court last month he feared that 'I'd get run over and serious injury or death because my arm is still caught. And I knew it would be...who knows what would happen if my arm got caught and my leg gets put underneath the wheel.'

He added: 'I was fearing for my life. I knew I was going to get drug. And the fact I couldn't get my arm out, I didn't know how long I would be dragged. So I was kind of running with the vehicle because I didn't want to get drug and pulled underneath the back of the tire.'

On Wednesday, Ross fatally shot Good, 37, inside her SUV in Minneapolis, sparking mass protests in the streets and a national reckoning over the Trump administration's immigration policies.

The Department of Homeland Security maintains that Ross acted in self-defense after Good 'weaponized' her car and tried to run him over. Anti-ICE protesters have clashed with police in the wake of her death.

The previous incident in which Ross was severely injured took pace in Bloomington, Minnesota when he and colleagues tried to arrest convicted sex offender Roberto Carlos Munoz, an illegal immigrant from Mexico.

In December, a jury at the U.S. District Court in St. Paul found Munoz guilty of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon, and causing bodily injury.

During a three day trial, Ross took the stand as the key prosecution witness, describing how he approached Munoz's car on June 17, 2025 and issued orders to him in English and Spanish.

When Munoz did not comply he broke the rear window and tried to unlock the door.

But the suspect took off at 'rapid' speed trapping his arm in the car, Ross told the court.

'He almost swiped me off on my vehicle, and at this point I feared for my life,' Ross said.

'And the only thing I had left, tools to use, was my Taser. So I quickly drew my Taser. I shot it. I got it right through the window crack. I put it in there, where I thought he was at, and I just pulled the trigger. It deployed ten rounds. I did see the impacts on his face. It didn't appear that it affected him at all.

'He's dragging me. At some point I couldn't keep up with the speed, and then he pulls onto the street, in the middle of the street. I'm still hanging on, and I think at this point I'm being drug.

'My legs, I'm trying to keep my upper strength to keep me from getting swept underneath the vehicle.'

Commenting as the jury watched a video of the incident played in court, Ross said: 'He veers towards that parked car onto the grass. I'm still hanging on.

'I was yelling at him to stop. Over and over and over again at the top of my lungs. At the end he cut back onto the road, right at that vehicle that's parked there.'

Asked how close he came to hitting the parked vehicle, he said: 'Maybe a foot.'

Ross added: 'After he comes off the curb, I just got jarred loose apparently, because I was able to fall out of the vehicle, and I rolled on the road.

'At that point I was still in the survival mode. So, I remember I did, like, a barrel roll and I came up with a self-preservation check with my pistol, as trained, just in case he tries backing into me.

'And then, after he drove off, I holstered up again, and I noticed my arm was bleeding. It was pretty bad. It was dripping. The blood was dripping all over.'

An FBI special agent then made a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.

As the jury was shown pictures, Ross added: 'You can see where the blood was dripping from my arm on my tourniquet and then on my pants.'

He said his arm 'started oozing. I don't want to get too graphic, but it started oozing a green discharge.'

It later got infected and it took a week to get rid of the infection.

'It hurt quite a bit. I had almost no mobility as I was moving around,' he said. 'And twice a day we had to change the bandages. And each time you pull the bandage off, it pulls the scab off. So that was very excruciating pain.'

He was then asked by the prosecutor to show the jury his scars, including on his right bicep. 

Ross required 33 stitches and 'some of the wounds they couldn't close, there wasn't enough skin to close it with stitches,' he said.

Showing his scars to the jury, he said: 'This is from the laceration you see here in the picture. And then you can see the scarring here on my lower bicep.'

Ross also told the jury how he had served in Iraq in 2004 to 2005 as a US Army machine gunner on a gun truck combat logistical patrol team, and had been in the Indiana National Guard.

In 2007 he joined the United States Border Patrol near El Paso, Texas, and joined ICE in 2015.

He is a deportation officer with Enforcement and Removal Operations, assigned to 'fugitive operations'.

'I target higher value targets in the Minnesota area of responsibility,' he told the court.
