The Shooting and Injury Claims
The Shooting Incident: On January 7, 2026, Renée Good was shot and killed by officer Jonathan Ross inside her SUV in a residential Minneapolis neighborhood during an immigration enforcement operation.
The Official Narrative: The Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have argued Ross acted in self-defense. Federal officials and DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin stated that Good hit Ross with her SUV, causing him to suffer internal bleeding to his torso. He was treated at a local hospital and released the same day.
The Dispute and Video Evidence: Local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, heavily disputed the claims that Ross was severely injured or struck. Multiple angles of bystander and cell phone footage—including a video recorded by Ross himself—fueled nationwide outrage. Critics and independent video analyses note that the footage raises heavy doubts about whether Ross was actually hit, showing him walking away from the moving SUV.
Current Status
The Victim: Family attorneys released an independent autopsy showing Good was shot three times, including a fatal wound to the head near the temple.
The Officer: Jonathan Ross is an Iraq War veteran who has been with ICE since 2015.
The Investigations: The FBI launched an investigation into the shooting. Concurrently, Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty challenged the federal investigation, stating her office has local jurisdiction over the case despite claims of federal immunity.
did she actually run into him?
is that justification for shooting her in the face, even if she did?
would an normal LEO have acted similarly in that situation?
not certain but I feel he got popped before the footage and the car was going around in a circle while he was in the car and the suv blocked the car to keep it from merry go rounding... black car may have just been going through the intersection and didn't realize wtf was going on... these are my guesses without further evidence.
