Newly Aired Footage Raises Questions in Fatal Shooting of Minneapolis Mother by Ice

MINNEAPOLIS — Newly released video obtained by CNN is offering a clearer, though still incomplete, picture of the moments leading up to the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother by an ICE agent.

The footage, aired Thursday night on Anderson Cooper 360°, shows a different camera angle and roughly four minutes of activity before Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed after an encounter with federal immigration officers. Cooper described the video as “grainy and distant,” but said it provides the most comprehensive view yet of the sequence of events.

There is new video tonight in the shooting death of a 37-year-old Minneapolis mother, and it could provide the best look yet at what happened before she was shot and killed by an ICE officer, shortly after dropping her six-year-old off at school. pic.twitter.com/qS30hKxjxq

Previous video from the scene showed officers approaching Good’s vehicle from behind as they attempted to remove her from the car. In the newly aired footage, captured from farther away, Good’s maroon Honda Pilot is seen entering the area and stopping across part of the roadway.

About 20 seconds later, a person exits the passenger side of the vehicle and walks away. It remains unclear who that person was or why they left.

Moments later, Good turns her vehicle perpendicular to the street, appearing to block traffic — though the video shows enough space for cars to pass on either side. An ICE agent is then seen approaching as another federal vehicle pulls up nearby.

As one agent briefly returns to his car and then re-approaches, another officer appears to grab at Good’s door. Seconds later, the vehicle begins to move forward. Three shots are fired in rapid succession, killing Good.

ICE officials have said Good used her vehicle as a weapon and that the agent acted in self-defense. That account has been disputed by local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who said the available evidence raises serious questions about the use of deadly force.

“For all that this video may reveal,” Cooper said during the broadcast, “it still says nothing about why Renee Good was there or what she was doing — and there’s still much we don’t know.”

The shooting occurred shortly after Good had dropped off her 6-year-old child at school, according to family members. Her death has intensified scrutiny of federal immigration enforcement tactics and the rules governing when agents may use lethal force.

Investigations into the shooting remain ongoing.
