Renee Good Had 4 Gunshot Wounds After Fatal ICE Shooting, Says Minneapolis Fire Department Report

Renee Nicole Good was found inside her vehicle with four apparent gunshot wounds, according to a Minneapolis Fire Department incident report.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Good, 37, had just dropped her 6-year-old child off at school before a fatal encounter with federal immigration agents.

She was driving home in a Honda Pilot with her current partner, Becca Good, when they came upon a group of ICE agents, her ex-husband told the Associated Press. The man, who asked not to be identified, said the couple moved to Minneapolis last year from Kansas City, Mo.

According to the Minneapolis Fire Department report, Good was discovered unresponsive in her car with blood on her face and torso at around 9:42 a.m. local time.

She suffered two apparent gunshot wounds to the right side of her chest, one apparent gunshot wound to her left forearm, and a possible gunshot wound on the left side of her head described as having “protruding tissue,” the report said. Blood was also noted coming from her left ear.

The report states she was moved first to a snowbank and then to the sidewalk after the shooting “for a more workable scene, better access for ambulances, and separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders.”’

Good was described as “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity,” according to the report.

Despite lifesaving efforts at the scene, in an ambulance, and at the Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC), CPR was discontinued at the hospital at approximately 10:30 a.m. that morning, the report stated.

One caller described what they believed happened immediately after the shots were fired, saying an officer fired through Good’s windshield as she sat in the driver’s seat. The caller reported that Good attempted to drive away but crashed into a parked vehicle, and that her partner got out to help as bystanders saw blood on the driver.

Good was shot behind the wheel by Jonathan Ross, who joined ICE in 2015 and served last year as a firearms instructor and a member of the F.B.I.’s Joint Terrorism Task Force. The shooting occurred after Good’s partner, Becca, suggested taking a detour after dropping Good’s son off at school.

Federal agents had flooded Minneapolis as part of a sweeping ICE operation. Protests had already been building over the presence of thousands of armed agents in the city. Good agreed to go out and observe, but she never made it home.

“I heard three pops of the gun,” witness Lynette Reini-Grandell recalled. “The people around me started screaming … ‘You killed her!’”

It was revealed this week that Good’s family hired a law firm previously retained by the family of George Floyd.

Romanucci & Blandin, a Chicago-based law firm, said in a news release on Wednesday, Jan. 14, that it and an attorney in Minneapolis were representing Good’s partner, parents, and siblings. The attorneys said they were launching what they described as a civil investigation into the shooting that left Good dead.

The firm said Good and her partner saw federal agents in their neighborhood after dropping their 6-year-old child at school on the day of the shooting, stating they had stopped to “observe, with the intention of supporting and helping their neighbors.”

Founding partner Antonio Romanucci said in a statement that people “want to know what could and should have been done to let Renee live and pick her child up safely from school that afternoon.”

Good shared her 6-year-old child with her late ex-husband, Timmy Macklin Jr., who died at age 36 in 2023, per U.K. newspaper The Guardian. She was also a mother to two older children — a daughter and a son from her first marriage — who are 12 and 15 years old, the Associated Press previously reported.
