A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer with a military background and a prior on-the-job injury is under FBI scrutiny after killing Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis mother and U.S. citizen, during a snowy street confrontation captured on multiple phones.
The Shooting
Footage shows Good’s Honda Pilot partially blocking a residential street as several federal vehicles box her in. After an officer reaches through her open window, Ross moves to the front of the SUV.
Good reverses, then pulls forward and steers right, away from the officers. Ross draws his gun. His first shot enters the hood while his legs remain clear of the wheels; the next two shots fly through the driver-side window as the SUV rolls past. Good, struck in the head, accelerates 140 feet before crashing into a parked car.
President Trump and other administration figures claim Good “viciously ran over” Ross. Witnesses told News Of Fort Worth the video contradicts that account, showing Ross was never in the vehicle’s path.
Officer’s Background
Ross served as a machine gunner with the Indiana National Guard in Iraq from 2004-2005, earning:
- Army Commendation Medal
- Army Good Conduct Medal
- Global War on Terrorism Medal
- Iraq Campaign Medal
He joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2007, then ICE in 2015 as a deportation officer targeting “higher value targets.” Ross also serves on the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force and works as a firearms instructor.
Previous Injury
In June, Ross broke a driver’s window during an arrest; the motorist sped off, dragging Ross roughly 50 yards. He needed 33 stitches and testified he feared for his life.
Neighborhood Reaction
On Friday, about 30 miles from the shooting scene, onlookers gathered outside Ross’s suburban home where boxes were being loaded onto three trucks. Neighbors said pro-Trump and Gadsden flags had flown during the election but were gone by Friday.
One neighbor said:
> “Everyone is freaking out.”
Another resident added:
> “It hurts to think that as someone who’s lived here for probably quite a while… it doesn’t to me reflect what our community is about, what our state is about.”
Ross has not responded to multiple interview requests from News Of Fort Worth.
Key Takeaways
- FBI is reviewing whether deadly force was warranted
- Video evidence appears to challenge official claims that Ross was run over
- Ross had returned to duty just seven months after being dragged by another driver
- Department of Homeland Security has not publicly named Ross, though media have
The investigation continues as Minneapolis again confronts questions over a fatal encounter between law enforcement and a civilian.
