The ICE agent’s cellphone video: Five key moments

Cellphone video recorded by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent as he fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis surfaced online Friday, revealing new details about the hotly disputed incident from a perspective rarely seen.
The 47-second recording, published by the Minnesota website Alpha News, shows for the first time that Renee Nicole Good spoke to the ICE agent, Jonathan Ross, before he shot her. It reveals that, a split second before the gunfire, Good’s wife urged her to drive away from the scene.
It does not show whether Good’s SUV came into contact with Ross, as the Trump administration contends. Vice President JD Vance said Friday that the video exonerated Ross. “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense,” Vance wrote on X.
The Washington Post previously reported that Good’s SUV did move toward Ross as he stood in front of it, according to a frame-by-frame analysis of different video footage. But Ross was able to move out of the way and fire at least two of three shots from the side of the vehicle as it veered past him, according to The Post’s analysis.
Neither Ross nor a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security returned messages seeking comment. Good’s wife also declined to comment.

As he passes the driver’s side door, she speaks to him through her open window. “That’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you,” Good, 37, says.
It’s not clear what elicited her comment. In the footage, Ross does not speak before the shooting.
2. Good’s wife confronts Ross

Good’s wife, Rebecca Good, confronts Ross as he walks behind the SUV.
“We don’t change our plates every morning,” she says, an apparent reference to criticism that ICE agents have swapped license plates on agency vehicles amid immigration sweeps. “Want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy,” she says.
