ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis identified

WASHINGTON, DC: Authorities have identified the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent involved in the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman on January 7. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, ICE officer Jonathan Ross shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. Good, a Minneapolis resident, is survived by her three children.

Jonathan Ross was previously dragged and hospitalized by illegal migrant driver

Several credible news outlets have confirmed that Jonathan Ross is the officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good. Authorities say Ross fired three shots on Wednesday, killing Good, 37, after she drove her car toward him during a street confrontation in Minneapolis.

Additionally, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials also confirmed that Ross was involved in a violent incident in June 2025 in Bloomington, Minnesota. 

During a traffic stop, Ross became trapped in a vehicle driven by Roberto Carlos Munoz, a repeat illegal immigrant from Guatemala with a long criminal record.

Munoz refused to get out of the car when officers approached. Ross broke a rear window to reach inside, but Munoz sped off and dragged him more than 100 yards while swerving to shake him loose.

Prosecutors said Ross suffered serious injuries to his arm and hand and required 33 stitches. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said at the time that Ross later made a full recovery.

Kristi Noem, Trump say Jonathan Ross acted in self-defense

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the experienced officer acted in self-defense and had the right to open fire. She said Jonathan Ross, a 10-year ICE veteran, faced danger while trying to enforce President Trump’s immigration crackdown. Noem also claimed that Renee Nicole Good was part of a group trying to block ICE officers from doing their jobs.

Ross works full time in Minneapolis and serves on ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Special Response Team, a specially trained tactical unit.

A wide-angle video of the incident appears to show Good striking Ross with her car after she ignored commands to exit the vehicle. Ross jumped out of the way and fired one shot through the windshield, then fired two more shots through the open driver’s side window, hitting her in the head.

President Trump backed Noem’s comments and wrote on Truth Social, "The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self defense."

ICE Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin also defended the ICE agent Ross' actions saying, "He acted according to his training. DHS will never confirm or deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers. Doxxing our officers put their lives and their families in serious danger."
