According to a Reuters analysis of available video footage, the ICE officer involved in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis fired the first of three shots as her vehicle moved past him, rather than while it was stationary. The visuals show the officer positioned near the front side of the SUV and discharging his weapon as the vehicle was in motion — a moment that has become a central point of controversy and debate.
What the footage and reporting indicate:
Video perspectives from multiple angles show Good’s SUV initially stopped sideways in the residential street and then maneuvering at slow speed away from agents as they approached.
One ICE agent drew his firearm as the vehicle moved forward, and the first of three shots was fired at that point, according to the Reuters visual analysis.
Subsequent shots occurred as the SUV continued past the officer, who stepped back but remained upright.
Context and reactions:
The woman, identified as Renee Nicole Good, was pronounced dead from gunshot wounds after the encounter during a broad federal immigration enforcement action in Minneapolis.
Authorities have described the incident as defensive, alleging the vehicle posed a threat, but local officials, family members, and many witnesses have disputed that narrative, saying she was slowly attempting to leave the scene when the officer fired.
The shooting has prompted widespread protests in Minneapolis and other U.S. cities, with demonstrators and civil rights advocates calling for accountability and transparency.
Ongoing investigations and disputed details:
Federal officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, have defended the officer’s actions, while Minnesota’s governor and Minneapolis’ mayor have criticized the handling and defended citizen concerns over use of force.
The FBI is reportedly involved in the investigation, but key aspects — including the precise sequence of movement and whether the vehicle made contact with the officer — remain contested among authorities, media analysis, and public observers
