An incident report and 911 call transcripts have uncovered fresh details about the fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis and the turmoil that ensued.
Paramedics reached the scene five minutes after Renee Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot last week, according to an incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department.
Emergency responders found the 37-year-old around 9:42 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds: two visible on the right side of her chest, one on her left forearm, and “a possible gunshot wound with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head.” She had blood on her face and torso, leaking from her left ear, dilated pupils, and was “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity,” the report notes.
Good was then moved to a nearby spot on the block “to create a more manageable scene, improve ambulance access, and separate her from an escalating situation involving law enforcement and bystanders,” the report states. Medics attempted to resuscitate Good before she was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where staff “took over airway and ventilation duties.” Resuscitation efforts were halted around 10:30 a.m.
Good’s shooting has drawn widespread criticism and ignited nationwide protests against President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.
Administration officials have defended Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who shot Good, framing the incident as an act of “self-defense.” In a statement to TIME, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle, trying to run over our law enforcement officers to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.” However, videos of the confrontation leading to Good’s shooting contradict this account, appearing to show Ross positioned beside Good’s SUV as she tried to drive away when he fired his weapon.
The incident report indicates Ross stayed at the scene after the shooting and was taken to a federal building roughly 15 minutes later.
Meanwhile, transcripts from 911 calls made immediately after Good’s shooting reveal bystanders’ perspectives on the incident, many of which express anger and shock.
One 911 caller said they saw “an ICE officer fire two shots through her windshield at the driver. She tried to drive off but crashed into a nearby parked car,” according to documents obtained from the city of Minneapolis. “I saw blood all over the driver, then the partner who was trying to help.”
In another call, a man identifying himself as calling on behalf of Homeland Security officers requested emergency services.
“Our officers are stuck in a vehicle, and there are agitators on the scene. Shots were fired by our local team,” the man said, adding he had no description of the shooter and was getting information “from our local joint operation command center.”
The calls began just after 9:38 a.m. on Jan. 7—moments after Good was shot—and continued for approximately an hour.
“She’s f**king dead. They f**king shot her,” another caller told 911. “There are 15 ICE agents here, and they shot her because she wouldn’t open her car door.” The dispatcher responded that help was on the way.
Communications between Minneapolis police and fire units in the minutes after the shooting—also included in transcripts obtained by media outlets—show authorities tried to evacuate federal agents to de-escalate the situation. “Contact the person in charge of the feds and have them leave the scene,” one local officer said at 10:07 a.m. Subsequent messages described the crowd as “growing more agitated” and noted a group of 20 people was attempting to surround ICE officers.
By 11:20 a.m., an officer reported that “all ICE agents have left the scene.”
Since July, immigration agents have shot at civilian vehicles at least 13 times, the Wall Street Journal found in a report published Jan. 10—days after Good’s shooting. On Thursday, amid ongoing protests in Minneapolis triggered by her death, a federal officer was injured in the city after being attacked with a shovel, the Department of Homeland Security stated.
President Trump has threatened to deploy U.S. military forces to Minnesota to calm the unrest.
