A controversial video allegedly filmed from the perspective of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer during the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Good has been made public, offering a stark new viewpoint of the Minneapolis incident.
New Footage Reveals Final Moments
The video, provided to the right-wing outlet Alpha News on Friday, is purported to show the events from the angle of ICE agent Jonathan Ross. While HuffPost and other major outlets have not independently verified its authenticity, it has been circulated by Fox News and CBS News. This marks the first time alleged footage from the shooter's vantage point has been seen by the public.
The clip provides some of the clearest audio yet of the exchange between Ross, Good, and her wife, Becca Good, in the final moments before the shooting. In the video, Renee Good can be heard telling the approaching officer, "It's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you." Her wife, standing outside the vehicle and apparently filming Ross, states, "We don't change our plates every morning. It'll be the same plates when you come talk to us later," a comment seemingly referencing reports that ICE agents have altered or removed license plates illegally.
Becca Good later shared that the couple had stopped on the street that day to "support our neighbors." She is also heard telling Ross, "You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy."
Contested Details and Political Reaction
The footage shows the camera panning upward as Good drives away, moments before Ross fires the fatal shot. It remains unclear from this video alone whether Good's vehicle made contact with the agent. Previously released footage indicated she angled her car away from him when she began to drive and showed Ross walking away from the scene after the shooting.
The newly released video includes audio of someone uttering, "Fucking bitch," seconds after the gunshot. The video quickly entered the political arena when Vice President JD Vance shared it on social media. Vance claimed the footage substantiates the Trump administration's assertion that Good threatened Ross's life, framing the shooting as an act of self-defense.
"Watch this, as hard as it is," Vance wrote. "Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defense." He further criticized media coverage of the event, suggesting the video proved outlets were "lying about this innocent law enforcement officer," and added, "You should all be ashamed of yourselves."
Ongoing Fallout and Unanswered Questions
The release of the video on January 9, 2026, has reignited debate over the incident, which has been a flashpoint in discussions about immigration enforcement and police accountability. A framed portrait of Renee Nicole Good was displayed on a chain outside an immigration detention facility in Broadview, Illinois, on that same date, highlighting the ongoing advocacy by her supporters.
The contrasting narratives—one of an officer defending his life and another of an unjustified killing—remain fiercely contested. This new perspective from the shooter's angle is likely to fuel further legal and public relations battles, without providing definitive clarity on the central, disputed fact of whether the agent was in imminent danger from the vehicle.
