Renee Nicole Good was shot four times by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while behind the wheel of her SUV in Minneapolis last week, according to an incident report.
The Minneapolis Fire Department’s incident report obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune revealed that Good, 37, was shot in the chest, arm, and head on the morning of Jan. 7, following a standoff between protesters and federal agents on a residential block.
Paramedics discovered the mother of three unresponsive in her car with blood on her face and torso around 9:42 a.m., according to the report.
She was not breathing and had an “inconsistent” and “irregular pulse,” officials wrote.
First responders observed two gunshot wounds on the right side of Good’s chest, one on her left forearm, and one “with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head,” as blood was seen flowing out of her left ear, the report said.
A 911 caller told dispatchers that “they shot her [because] she wouldn’t open her car door,” transcripts obtained by the outlet showed.
“Send an ambulance please, ambulance please,” the caller said.
Good was pulled out of her crashed SUV and brought to a snowbank and then the sidewalk to separate her from an “escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders,” the report added.
By the time she was brought to the snowbank, Good was still not breathing and had no pulse.
Emergency medical personnel continued to try to save her life inside an ambulance and a local hospital, but CPR was eventually discontinued at 10:30 a.m, the report said.
Graphic footage from the scene captured the moment Good appeared to turn her car’s steering wheel to the right, away from ICE agents, just seconds before Ross — who was standing in the path of her vehicle — fired multiple shots through her open window and windshield.
The Department of Homeland Security accused Good of trying to mow down Ross with her SUV during an immigration operation in the residential neighborhood — prompting the officer to open fire in self-defense. DHS later announced Ross suffered internal bleeding.
Good, who described herself as a “poet and writer,” had recently moved to the Windy City with her wife, who was seen sobbing and covered in blood at the scene of the shooting.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem alleged Good had been part of a group of protesters who had been “stalking and impeding” ICE agents throughout the day.
Her mom, Donna Granger, told the Minnesota Star Tribune her daughter was “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.”
