A cellphone video obtained by ABC News captures the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in her vehicle in Minneapolis. The 37-second video is believed to be taken by the ICE agent who fired the shots, and it shows Good interacting with agents before she is shot.
The video starts with an ICE agent approaching Good's vehicle, which is stopped across the middle of the road. The agent demands that Good open the door, and she complies. However, when another agent approaches her door, Good reverses the car, turns the steering wheel to the right, and drives away. The agents shout at each other, and one of them says, "Drive!" as shots are fired.
The video shows the officer filming the scene yelling out "Oh!" as several shots are fired. Another agent can be heard saying, "F------ bitch" as the car is seen driving off and crashing down the block.
Retired Chicago Police Lieutenant John Garrido told ABC7Chicago that Good did not appear to be acting in an aggressive manner. He said she first cuts her wheels to the right, and when she backs up, it repositions her car, facing the agent. When she drives forward, it brings him dead center on the driver's side of the vehicle.
Garrido also stated that the claim of absolute immunity is false, as there is immunity but not absolute. He added that the question is whether federal agents acted objectively and reasonably while performing their duties.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has called on members of the public to send any video or other evidence related to Good's shooting directly to her office, challenging the Trump administration's decision to leave the investigation solely with the FBI.
The incident occurred on January 7, during a federal immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. At least five people have been tied to immigration sweeps since Trump took office, and protests are happening across the country.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has repeatedly characterized Good as an attacker who used her vehicle as a weapon. However, state and local officials and protesters rejected this characterization, saying that videos show the self-defense argument is "garbage."
The federal agent who fatally shot Good, Jonathan Ross, was described by records obtained by AP as an Iraq War veteran with nearly two decades of service in the Border Patrol and ICE. Noem has not publicly named him, but a Homeland Security spokesperson said her description refers to Ross.

she was just driving away and he's all like "drive" as shots are being fired lol what a hero 
she wasn't even doing anything wrong and now they're saying she used her car as a weapon 
that's not how it goes down
... how can you blame someone for trying to escape when they're being threatened? 
... the whole thing just reeks of ICE's toxic culture and lack of accountability 
... someone needs to hold these agents accountable, pronto! 
IT'S JUST WRONG THAT SOMEONE GOT SHOT AND KILLED BY ICE AGENT JONATHAN ROSS WHILE TRYING TO DEFEND HERSELF. 
I MEAN, WHO NEEDS ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY WHEN YOU CAN JUST DO THE RIGHT THING? 
LIKE, THERE ARE VIDEOS OF THE WHOLE THING AND NO ONE'S SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S ALL ABOUT "OBJECTIVE AND REASONABLE" BUT I GUESS THAT JUST DOESN'T APPLY WHEN YOU'RE A FEDERAL AGENT WITH A BAD ATTITUDE.
like if someone says "drive" while ur trying to apprehend them, u can't just shoot & expect them 2 rregret it later 
.
newsflash: she wasn't! she was just trying to get away from them. and now her family is left to deal with the trauma & grief...

just saw that video of Renee Good getting shot by an ICE agent and i gotta say its super upsetting... she was just trying to leave the scene after one agent told her to open her door and another said drive... sounds like a total setup... 
what's going on with these federal agents and their "absolute immunity" thing? cant they be held accountable for their actions? 
he said that federal agents need to act objectively and reasonably while doing their jobs... sounds like common sense to me...
. And don't even get me started on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem trying to label Renee as an attacker 
. It's just so sad that we're still having these kinds of incidents in our country 
The fact that they called her a "f---ing bitch" just shows how messed up this whole situation is. I mean, we're not even getting into the whole "absolute immunity" thing... that's just a bunch of hooey, if you ask me 
. I'm shocked at how quickly the Trump administration jumped to characterise Renee as an attacker too 
. It's also really frustrating that there's no absolute immunity here, just subjective ones 
. And Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty is on point with her request for people to send in any evidence they have - it seems like there are definitely some discrepancies in the official story.
. That's just ridiculous. The videos show she was trying to defend herself, not attack anyone. It's like they're trying to spin this whole thing in their favor.
