New DHS video shows minutes before ICE officer fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security posted a 3½-minute bystander video Sunday showing what happened in the minutes before a federal immigration officer shot and killed Renee Good during an enforcement operation on a snowy Minneapolis street. The video, published on X, shows Good’s red SUV partially blocking a road while she repeatedly pressed the horn, two vehicles eventually passing, and federal officers approaching her car — then going dark moments before previously released footage documents the fatal shooting.

The new footage adds context to a shooting that has fueled a national debate over whether the officer acted in self-defense or recklessly, a question that has remained contested as multiple video angles of the Jan. 7 incident have been released in the days since.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday posted a 3½-minute bystander video to X showing what took place in the minutes before a federal immigration officer shot and killed Renee Good on a snowy Minneapolis street, adding context to a shooting that has sparked a national debate over whether the officer acted in self-defense or recklessly.

The video shows federal officers and vehicles on the street as a car horn blares on and off and the sounds of whistles add to the noise. Good’s red SUV is visible sitting perpendicular to and partially blocking the road, with Good pressing the horn repeatedly from inside. After more than a minute, Good pulled the SUV back slightly, unblocking part of the road, and appeared to wave at other cars to pass. Two vehicles drove by.

Good’s wife is seen standing outside the red SUV in the footage. The video does not clearly show her position during the preceding minutes. After a blare of sirens, a dark truck with a small flashing light pulled to a stop a few feet from Good’s SUV. Two officers exited the truck and walked toward her car before the new video went dark.

What previously released footage shows

Bystander videos released the prior week, shot from multiple angles, show what happened next.

Footage recorded by the officer who fired shows one officer asking Good to get out of the car while another tried to open her door. The officer who was filming circled around to the front of the vehicle. Good reversed briefly, which placed the filming officer in front of the driver’s side. Good then turned the steering wheel toward the passenger side as an officer said again, “get out of the car.”

Almost simultaneously, Good’s wife — standing on the passenger side and trying to open the door — shouted, “drive, baby, drive!”

The SUV pulled forward. The camera veered upward and gunshots were heard. Other footage shows the officer who fired holstering his weapon, followed by a few seconds of silence before Good’s SUV crashed into a parked car. A woman who appeared to be Good’s wife ran toward the crash as the officer who fired walked in the same direction. Bystanders began screaming.
