Minneapolis ICE shooting live updates: New footage from agent’s phone shows interaction that led to woman being fatally shot

The footage reportedly Jonathan Ross’ phone shows a new angle of the deadly encounter

Cell phone footage shows shooting of Renee Good from ICE agent's perspective

Newly published video reportedly filmed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross seemingly shows the confrontation that led to a deadly encounter with Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.

The footage from Ross’ phone, obtained by Minnesota’s Alpha News, shows him getting out of his own vehicle and circling Good’s car while being heckled by another protester. He also interacts briefly with Good, who tells him “that’s fine dude, I’m not mad.”

Ross approaches the front of Good’s vehicle before the footage cuts away as he draws his gun and fires three times into the vehicle. An officer is heard on the video exclaiming “f*** b****,” as the car drives away.

She was pronounced dead a short time later and her death has sparked outrage across the nation.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey defended his use of expletives in the aftermath of the shooting, telling reporters Friday: "I dropped an F-bomb... They killed somebody. Which one of those is more inflammatory?”

The mayor also disputed claims by the Trump administration, including Vice President JD Vance, that Ross had been injured during the altercation.

Meanwhile, anti-ICE protests are ongoing in Minneapolis. Several protesters have been spotted wearing costumes, waving signs that read “abolish ICE” and blowing whistles in the city’s downtown area.
