A new video angle has sparked fresh outrage across the country, raising serious questions about the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.The incident, caught from a nearby vantage point, appears to show Good’s SUV clipping an officer before he opens fire through her open window.
Moments later, her vehicle crashed into a parked white car roughly 100 feet away.
Federal officials quickly backed the agent involved.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, claimed Good had “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them,” calling the act “an act of domestic terrorism.”
But the video has cast major doubt on that narrative.
Viral video shows Good appearing to flee, not attack
Footage of the moment is making waves online, showing what many believe was an attempt to flee rather than a deliberate attack.
The video shows one officer trying to get into Good’s vehicle, prompting her to reverse, cut her wheels right, and attempt to drive off.
A second officer is seen standing in front of her SUV — but her tires are pointed away from him.
As she begins to move, she clips him, though not with enough force to knock him down. He immediately fires one shot through the front windshield and then two more through the side window as she tries to drive away.
The clip has ignited fierce debate online. While Donald Trump labeled Good an “agitator,” others are calling the shooting a brutal overreaction.
One viewer commented: “Murder. Plain and simple. There are times we can no longer stay silent. This is the time. This is murder.”
Another wrote: “That wasn’t self defence. That was retaliation/anger that she was getting away. They should all prosecuted.”
One Redditor wrote: “THE WHEELS ARE FULLY TURNED AWAY FROM THE OFFICER. Watch in SLOW MO. No intention IMO to hit anyone. Sole intention based on wheel/steering wheel to LEAVE the scene NOT A THREAT. Look at the wheel.”
The footage below is distressing:
