"This morning, a federal agent from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good as she was driving away from ICE
agents on a residential street in Minneapolis, Minnesota. According to
Minneapolis leaders, Good was a legal observer: a volunteer trained to observe
police conduct in case of future legal action.
Three videos taken at the scene show a maroon SUV perpendicular on a snowy
street. A silver SUV driving up the street stops. Two officers wearing badges
that say “police” and body armor get out of the vehicle and walk toward the
maroon car.
One of them says, “Get out of the f*cking car,” and the other reaches through
the open driver’s side window while trying to open the door. The driver backs
up the vehicle, and straightens the wheel as if making a three-point turn. Then
she starts slowly to accelerate along the street.
A third officer who has been standing on the side of the road pulls out a gun
as the car is turning away. He shoots three times. The maroon car does not hit
anyone as it rolls up the street, hitting another vehicle and then a utility
pole. The shooter walks briskly away, apparently uninjured.
Seen in slow motion, a video shows the wheels of the maroon vehicle were fully
turned away from the shooting officer, who made no effort to jump away, clearly
suggesting he did not feel as if he were in danger. His first shot went through
the windshield; the next two went through the driver’s side window as the car
moved past him. An onlooker shouted “What the f*ck?!”
Video taken by another eyewitness shows ICE agents refusing to allow a
self-identified physician to tend to the victim and telling him to back up.
Although there is no one tending the clearly visible woman in the car, an agent
says: “We have medics on scene. We have our own medics.” When another bystander
screams: “Where are they? WHERE ARE THEY?!” an agent tells her, “Relax.” “How
can I relax?” she shouts. “You just killed my f*cking neighbor.”"
