Newly disclosed emergency records have laid bare the chaotic and tense scenes that unfolded in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of a local woman by a federal immigration agent last week.
Panicked Calls and a Frantic Response
The incident began just after 9:37 a.m. on Wednesday 7 January 2026, when ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother-of-three and poet, as she sat in her maroon Honda Pilot. Good had been among residents protesting the presence of immigration enforcement officers in their neighbourhood.
According to sixty pages of incident reports and 911 call logs obtained by The New York Times, the first panicked emergency calls began flooding in at approximately 9:38 a.m.. "There’s 15 ICE agents, and they shot her, like, cause she wouldn’t open her car door," one frantic caller reported. Another witness confirmed seeing Good covered in blood in the driver's seat after her vehicle crashed into a parked car.
A Struggle to Provide Aid and Control the Crowd
Paramedics arrived at 9:42 a.m. to find Good unresponsive with serious gunshot wounds. The records detail she had two wounds on the right side of her chest, one on her left forearm, and a possible fourth on the left side of her head. Despite performing CPR en route to Hennepin County Medical Center, medics were forced to cease resuscitation efforts at around 10:30 a.m.; she was pronounced dead on arrival.
Meanwhile, the scene on the ground grew increasingly volatile. Emergency service messages show growing alarm at the hostile crowd of protesters who had witnessed the shooting. "NEED CROWD CONTROL AND AREA BLOCKED OFF," one message sent at 9:47 a.m. urged. Authorities expressed urgent concern about the continued presence of ICE agents, with a 10:07 a.m. message stating: "CONTACT WHO IS IN CHARGE OF FEDS AND HAVE THEM LEAVE SCENE."
However, extracting the agents proved difficult as a crowd of around 20 people attempted to surround them. A relieved update finally came at 11:20 a.m.: "ALL ICE AGENTS HAVE LEFT SCENE." An update 18 minutes later noted the crowd had calmed following their departure.
Political Fallout and Ongoing Investigation
In the immediate aftermath, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem swiftly defended Agent Ross's actions, accusing Good of "stalking" ICE agents and committing "an act of domestic terrorism"—a stance echoed by President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
The official investigation into the circumstances of the fatal shooting remains ongoing. The release of these detailed records, however, provides a stark, minute-by-minute account of the confusion and tension that gripped a Minneapolis street in the wake of the tragedy.
