Renee Good was stuck in SUV, responders attempted to save her as partner Becca was taken to hospital

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA: On January 7, Renee Nicole Good, 37, a mother of three, had just wrapped up her morning routine. She dropped her 6-year-old son off at school and climbed into a maroon Honda Pilot with her committed partner, Becca, 40.

The plan was to head home. But as they drove, Becca suggested a detour. Federal ICE agents had flooded the city, and protesters were already gathering. They thought it was better to avoid trouble, but that decision reportedly ensured Renee would never make it home.

At 9:37 am, just minutes later, Good was shot three times while seated behind the wheel. The shooter was Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent who joined the agency in 2015 and was serving as a firearms instructor and a member of the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force by 2025.

“I heard three pops of the gun,” witness Lynette Reini-Grandell told People. “The people around me started screaming ... ‘You killed her!’”

The chaos that followed

Chaos followed almost immediately. The first 911 call came in at 9:39 am from Portland Avenue.

One caller told dispatchers he had just watched an ICE agent shoot a woman at close range while she sat in her car, according to an incident report released by Minnesota police officials.

“She’s f****n’ dead,” caller Matt said. “They f*****n’ shot her. There were about 15 ICE agents and the woman was shot ‘cause she wouldn’t open her car door.”

Multiple voices could be heard yelling and screaming in the background of that first call. Within a minute, another caller dialed 911 and said they had also seen ICE shoot someone inside a vehicle before it crashed.

“So, I don’t think they’re okay,” the caller said of the driver. “Uh, I’m sorry, I had to walk away because I have young kids, and ICE is everywhere over there.”

Moments later, yet another caller reported seeing “blood all over the driver and then the partner who was trying to provide assistance.” That caller added the agent who shot the woman was still at the scene, wearing an ICE tactical vest.

Grim scene

As SWAT team members arrived and began shouting for bystanders to back away, the reality of what had happened settled in.

Becca began screaming, “My wife!” according to a neighbor who asked to remain anonymous.

Becca, who had previously referred to Good as her wife, was holding her, sobbing, covered in her blood, witnesses said.

Photos from the scene showed the wreckage inside the SUV, including a blood-soaked airbag and stuffed animals tucked inside the glove compartment.

“I saw the hole in the windshield. It looked chest level,” said James, a neighbor, former firefighter and first responder, who spoke to People.

Inside the car, the damage was impossible to miss.

“There was so much blood around the airbag. The white airbag was red. There was so much blood,” he said, shaking his head. “Renee’s body and her front seat were covered in blood. I could see the bullet hole through her left side. It was very, very gruesome.”

Desperate attempts to save her

Less than five minutes after the first 911 call, At 9:42 am, a fire vehicle arrived.

Responders found Good unresponsive inside the SUV. She had been shot multiple times. Records show two apparent gunshot wounds on the right side of her chest, another on her left forearm and a fourth on the left side of her head. Blood was flowing from her left ear. Her pupils were dilated.

After moving her and continuing to assess her condition, responders found she still wasn’t breathing and had no pulse, according to the records. Chest compressions and other lifesaving measures followed. She wasn’t breathing and had “inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity.”

“They were trying to revive her ... but Renee was stuck in the car,” James said. “I was out here when they pulled her out of the car but they were struggling for a long time.”

He watched as responders fought both the wreckage and the clock.

“Not very nicely they pulled her out and then they ended up just carrying her out of here,” he said. “They didn’t have a stretcher at first. Three people carried her. They walked her down holding her to the ambulance at the end of the block.”

Portions of the incident report were redacted, leaving unclear exactly when EMS arrived. However, roughly 15 minutes passed between the first 911 call and Good being transported to the hospital. Resuscitation efforts continued at the scene and in the ambulance. They were finally stopped around 10:30 am, nearly an hour after Good was shot. She never regained consciousness.

Becca’s silent breakdown

Before Good was removed from the SUV, Becca walked to the closest neighbor’s yard and sat down on the steps.

“Hey, can we get her a towel to clean her face off?” a roommate asked James, as Becca stood in the front yard of their sober home, drenched in blood.

As she tried to stand and began crying, Becca spoke again. “There’s a dog in the back. Can someone get it for me, please?” she requested.

James said Good had been trapped inside the vehicle for roughly 20 minutes.

“They couldn’t get [Renee] out of the car, she was stuck in there for about 20 minutes or so,” he said. “Becca left to go to the hospital before they even got her partner out of the car.”

“She was traumatized. Crying, completely in shock. She was just stunned,” James said. “I mean, she was holding her dead loved one in her arms.”

Witnesses said Becca collapsed into grief on the steps. She was later reunited with her dog, gently stroking him in silence before being taken to the hospital herself.
