The Department of Homeland Security has released a new video showing the tense moments leading up to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.
The new video shows roughly three-and-a-half minutes leading up to the fatal shooting of Good by an ICE officer in south Minneapolis on Wednesday (Jan. 7).
The grainy footage, verified by CBS, appears to have been recorded from a home overlooking the residential street where the shooting occurred. It shows several drivers honking as ICE agents walk up and down the street, with sirens blaring and people shouting, but it cuts off before the moment of the shooting.
DHS said through its official X account that the video shows Good allegedly “impeding a law enforcement operation” before the confrontation on Portland Avenue.
Good, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and mother of three children, was fatally struck in the head while behind the wheel of her Honda Pilot. Per Newsweek, Good reportedly briefly reversed before turning her vehicle to the right, which prompted an officer to fire three shots into the windshield and window.
Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez claimed Good was "watching out for our immigrant neighbors."
A GoFundMe fundraiser established for Good’s widow, Becca, and their family raised over $1.5 million from a $50,000 goal before being closed to new donations.
In the aftermath, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Brian O'Hara questioned federal accounts of the incident.
Frey told WCCO Sunday Morning, "The story that's coming out of this from the federal government is that this ICE agent was hit and run over by a car."
Referring to President Trump's claim that Good "ran over" the ICE officer, later identified as Jonathan Ross, Frey said, "If he was hit and run over by a car, how the hell is he still holding on to his cell phone afterwards? I mean, l've dropped my cell phone numerous times by barely getting brushed, yet he can get hit by a car, and he's still hanging on, hanging on to it?"
Frey added that he has seen no indication that ICE has paused or reconsidered its operations since the shooting, saying, "You would hope that, especially following some form of awful and horrific event like that, that they would take a step back, take a pause, and then, even better, leave. We have not seen that."
Both Frey and O'Hara expressed concern that ICE's continued presence could lead to more violence.
O'Hara said, "The responsibility that police leadership has for the men and women of our department, as well as the larger community whenever something significant critical happens, is to take a look at the situation from an objective standpoint and say, 'OK, are we contributing to the problem, or ... are we employing practices or methods that are unjustifiably placing the men and women who work for us, as well as the community, unjustifiably at risk without actually having a public safety benefit?'"
On Sunday (Jan. 11), Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who previously characterized Good's actions as an act of “domestic terrorism," told Fox News that more federal law enforcement is on their way into Minneapolis.
"We're sending more officers today and tomorrow. They'll arrive, there'll be hundreds more in order to allow our ICE and our Border Patrol individuals that are working in Minneapolis to do so safely,” Noem said, per Fox 9 KMSP. “We're going to continue to, if they conduct violent activities against law enforcement, if they impede our operations, that's a crime, and we will hold them accountable to those consequences."
Noem did not specify the exact number of incoming officers. Fox 9 also notes that the total federal presence in the area remains unclear.
The shooting has also fueled protests across the Twin Cities, including outside the regional ICE headquarters at the Whipple Building at Fort Snelling.
