The ICE agent involved in the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis has been identified as Jonathan E Ross, a 10-year veteran of the agency's enforcement and removal operation. Court records match the description of a June 2025 incident in Bloomington, Minnesota, cited by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance.
Good's death, which occurred during an immigration sweep on Wednesday, has sparked outrage and protests in Minneapolis. Thousands gathered near the scene, and some Democrats in Congress have threatened to withhold funding from the Department of Homeland Security. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said, 'To ICE: get the fuck out of Minneapolis.'
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has declined to involve Minnesota law enforcement in the investigation, prompting Governor Tim Walz to express doubts about a fair outcome. The Department of Homeland Security has refused to name the officer, with Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stating, 'We are not going to expose the name of this officer. He acted according to his training.'
Noem described Good's actions as 'an act of domestic terrorism' and claimed she blocked federal agents with her vehicle before the shooting. Vance said the agent had been dragged by a car six months ago, receiving 33 stitches. Court documents from the June 2025 arrest of Roberto Carlos Muñoz show Ross was the agent dragged after Muñoz sped off, suffering lacerations to his arms and hand.
Videos of the shooting show Good attempting to turn her SUV and leave as an agent tries to force open her door. The agent fired three shots, and Good's car crashed shortly after. The incident has intensified debate over immigration enforcement tactics.
