ICE agent’s video shows moments before Renee Good shooting

Good reverses for a moment, turns her steering wheel and then drives forward. The agent filming the video shouts “whoa” and fires shots in quick succession.

A male voice can be heard saying “f—ing bitch”.

The video ends with sounds of the vehicle crashing into a parked car.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT

The video gives another view of the shooting that officials in Minnesota have called unjustified even as ICE and the Trump administration defend the officer’s actions.

Other videos show Good steering the car’s front wheels away from Ross as she drives forward, while he fires three shots while jumping backward from the front of the car.

The final two shots appear to be aimed through the driver’s side window, after the car’s front bumper has already passed by the officer’s legs.

Starkly opposed views about what happened reflect bitter divisions within the US over President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement efforts and the way they’ve been conducted. Both sides have justified their views by citing the same videos that show the encounter from different angles.

Vice President JD Vance on Friday called news coverage of the incident “shameless press propaganda”, noting that Ross – the officer who shot Good – had been seriously injured in a separate vehicle attack six months ago.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, speaking at a New York press conference on Thursday, said the agent “followed his training” and “acted in defence of his life”, even as the shooting remains under investigation.

Good’s death has sparked protests in Minneapolis and elsewhere over aggressive immigration enforcement tactics. Civil-rights groups are demanding an independent investigation, while Minnesota officials say federal authorities initially agreed to let state investigators participate before reversing course and freezing them out.

It is unclear whether Ross made any contact with the car, but videos show he stayed on his feet and walked calmly toward the car after the shooting. DHS said that Ross was treated for injuries at a local hospital and released.

Rebecca Good said on Friday that the couple had stopped to support their neighbours on the day of the shooting and described the mother of three as leaving a legacy of kindness.

“We had whistles. They had guns,” she said in a written statement provided to Minnesota Public Radio.

“Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow.

“I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him.

“That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.”

Rebecca thanked people across America and the world who had reached out in support.

“Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled,” she wrote. “I mean, she didn’t wear glitter, but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking, but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.”

Minnesota authorities on Friday said they were opening their own criminal investigation, after some state law enforcement officials said the FBI was refusing to cooperate with state investigators.

In Portland, Oregon, on Thursday afternoon, a US Border Patrol agent shot and wounded a man and woman in their car after an attempted vehicle stop. As in Minnesota, the Department of Homeland Security said the driver “weaponised” the car in an effort to run over the agent, who fired in self-defence.

DHS on Friday identified the wounded driver and passenger as Luis David Nico Moncada and Yorlenys Betzabeth Zambrano-Contreras, describing both as suspected gang associates from Venezuela who were in the US illegally. No evidence of the allegations against the pair was provided.

On Friday, Portland police chief Bob Day confirmed that account, saying the pair were associated with Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua. He said the woman was previously arrested for prostitution, and the gang connection came to light from a police investigation of a July shooting.

“This information in no way is meant to disparage or to condone or support or agree with any of the actions that occurred yesterday,” Day said, at times blinking back tears. “But it is important that we stay committed to the rule of law, that we stay committed to the facts, that we stay a trustworthy and legitimate police department for all Portlanders.”
