The Shooting
According to News Of Fort Worth, the incident began at 9:38 a.m. CT on Jan. 7 as federal agents surrounded Good’s Honda SUV on a quiet suburban street. Cellphone video recorded by ICE officer Jonathan Ross shows Good at the wheel while protesters blow whistles and cars honk in the background.
In the footage, Good tells Ross, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” moments before another officer orders her out of the vehicle. Her wife, Becca Good, appears to say, “Drive.” Good turns the steering wheel to the right, away from the officers, and begins to move.
Ross shouts what sounds like “whoa” and fires multiple shots. The camera jerks skyward, briefly captures his masked face, then settles on the SUV accelerating down the block.
First Responders
A Minneapolis Fire Emergency Medical Services team arrived to find Good unresponsive with:
- Apparent gunshot wounds to her chest and forearm
- A possible gunshot wound to her head
- Irregular, thready pulse
Medics applied a tourniquet and performed CPR on the sidewalk before transporting her to a local hospital. Staff halted resuscitation at 10:30 a.m.
911 Calls
Callers painted a scene of chaos and fear:
- “They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car…. She’s f—— dead.”
- “ICE fired two shots through her windshield into the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked.”
- “I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there.”
A caller identifying himself only as “Philip,” apparently a Homeland Security officer, requested EMS and local backup, saying, “We had officers stuck in a vehicle, and we had agitators on the scene.” Large portions of the logs were redacted and labeled “Law Enforcement.”
Aftermath
Ross left the scene at 10:04 a.m., walking away unassisted. He was later treated for internal bleeding to the torso and released from a hospital. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has claimed Ross acted in self-defense and labeled Good a “domestic terrorist” without presenting evidence. The FBI is investigating.
By 11:20 a.m. all ICE personnel had departed; the FBI arrived at 11:31 a.m. Federal agents remain active across Minneapolis, with more than 3,000 deployed to target alleged corruption and immigration violations.
Official Response
Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Derrick M. Collins:
> “Every use of force incident and any discharge of an ICE firearm must be properly reported and reviewed by the agency in accordance with agency policy, procedure, and guidelines. All shootings are initially reviewed by the appropriate federal, state, local, or tribal law enforcement agency principally charged with first response to the incident.”
She added that ICE will conduct an independent review once the primary investigation concludes.
