A cellphone clip recorded by the very ICE officer who pulled the trigger is now at the center of a national firestorm over the death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
The Video and What It Shows
The footage-shot by officer Jonathan Ross-captures part of the Wednesday confrontation. Toward the end, two off-camera expletives are audible; NBC News has not confirmed who utters them. Throughout the clip, officers shout commands while a woman who identifies herself as Good’s wife interacts with police.
Investigation Stand-Off
- The FBI has taken sole jurisdiction over the shooting probe.
- Gov. Tim Walz voiced skepticism, saying a federal-only inquiry makes a “fair outcome” less likely.
- Local agencies have been sidelined, heightening community distrust.
