The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer responsible for the fatal shooting of a 37-year-old woman in Minneapolis has been publicly named, according to a new report.
Agent Involved in Fatal Incident Named
The agent has been identified as Jonathan Ross, as revealed by The Minnesota Star Tribune. The shooting, which resulted in the death of the woman, occurred in Minneapolis. This development brings the officer involved into the public eye, connecting him to a serious use of force incident.
Previous On-Duty Injury Revealed
The report further details that Jonathan Ross was the subject of a separate, violent incident last year. In that event, he was reportedly dragged and injured by a driver who was fleeing from authorities. This prior incident highlights the dangers faced by immigration enforcement officers in the line of duty and adds context to the agent's history.
Ongoing Investigation and Report
The information was published on Thursday 08 January 2026, with the initial report filed from New York by Isabel Keane. The Star Tribune's coverage indicates this is a breaking news story, suggesting that further details regarding the circumstances of the shooting and the ensuing investigation are likely to emerge. Authorities have not yet released a full account of the events leading to the fatal encounter.
The identification of the agent is a significant step in the ongoing scrutiny of the case, which will undoubtedly involve investigations by both ICE's internal affairs and potentially local law enforcement agencies. The connection to the previous dragging incident raises questions about the agent's recent operational history and the protocols surrounding officer-involved shootings.
