Renee Good's last moments revealed in fatal ICE clash

Renee Nicole Good suffered from four gunshot wounds and bleeding from her ear following her deadly clash with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. 

The 37-year-old mother-of-three was shot dead on January 7 after she allegedly refused officers' demands to open her car door during a demonstration in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

By the time paramedics arrived on the scene at 9.42am, they found Good unresponsive inside her Honda Pilot with blood on her face and torso, according to a Minneapolis Fire Department report obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune. 

Good was discovered not breathing and her pulse was 'inconsistent.' 

First responders reported finding a total of four gunshot wounds: two in her chest, one on her left forearm, and one on the left side of the head.

Paramedics then lifted Good out of the car and brought her to the sidewalk in an attempt to revive her as protesters and law enforcement officers began to clash on the street.

At that point, they reported that Good was still not breathing and had no pulse.

Paramedics continued to provide lifesaving measures at the scene, in an ambulance and at a nearby hospital before CPR was finally discontinued at 10.30am. 

The agent who shot her, Jonathan Ross, also reportedly suffered internal bleeding in his torso after Good allegedly hit him with her vehicle.

The extent of his condition remains unclear, as internal bleeding can also be classified as a bruise or contusion that causes mild or serious injury. 

In footage from the scene, an officer was seen approaching Good's stopped SUV and grabbing the door handle as he allegedly demanded she open the door. 

Her Honda Pilot then began to pull forward and Ross pulled his weapon, immediately firing three shots and jumping back as the vehicle moved toward him.

It is not clear from the videos if the vehicle made contact with Ross. After the shooting, the SUV slammed into two cars parked on a curb before crashing to a stop.

Prior to the shooting, Good is believed to have blocked the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was killed.

About 20 seconds after she pulled up to the street, a passenger - believed to be her wife Rebecca - exited the vehicle and eventually began filming. 

There is now speculation that Rebecca, who admitted to bringing her spouse to the anti-ICE protest, exited the car so she could begin filming any potential clash with federal agents.

She was seen wielding her camera during Ross's confrontation with her wife but it is unclear when she first started to record.

Witnesses have said Good and her wife, Rebecca, were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.

Civil rights attorney Antonio M Romanucci, a founding partner of Chicago-based law firm Romanucci & Blandin, has now announced that he is taking Good's case, arguing that 'the community is not receiving transparency' about it.

'People in Minneapolis and across this country truly, truly care about what happened to Renee Good and are committed to understanding how she could have been killed on the street after dropping her child off at school,' the attorney said in a statement to the Washington Post.

'They want to know what could and should have been done to let Renée live and pick her child up safely from school that afternoon. 

'As often as possible, our team will promptly and transparently provide updates on what we learn.'

But Good's former father-in-law, Timmy Macklin Sr, has said he does not blame ICE for her fatal shooting. 

Good was married to Macklin's son, who died in 2023, and he is the grandfather of her six-year-old orphaned son. 

He was pushed by CNN anchor Erin Burnett for his opinion on whether Good's shooting death was justified, to which he said he 'was not blaming anybody.'

'It's a hard situation all around.'

'I don't blame ICE. I don't blame Rebecca. I don't blame Renee. I just wish that, you know, if we're walking in the spirit of God, I don't think she would have been there. That's the way I look at it,' he said.

Macklin said he did not initially see footage of the altercation between Good and Ross that led up to the shooting, but that his opinion changed once he viewed the video. 

He said in his opinion it appeared that Ross was 'rammed' by Good in her car, a characterization that has been disputed by Democrat officials in Minneapolis. 

'You know, in a flash like that, it's hard to say how you'd react,' he continued.

He said that Rebecca, who was seen in footage taunting Ross in the moments before the shooting, was 'also a great person' and said he felt no ill-will toward her. 

'But you know, I think there was some bad choices,' he added.

Meanwhile, federal watchdogs have quietly launched an investigation into ICE's chaotic hiring spree, hoping to determine whether the rush to hire 10,000 new agents has led to dangerous shortcuts in vetting and training. 

The audit, which was initially stalled by Department of Homeland Security officials who were slow to turn over information to investigators, could take months to complete. 

It will result in a report to Congress, though 'management alerts' can be sent as needed to address more pressing concerns, insiders told the Daily Mail.
