Video shows Renee Good turning away from officer moments before fatal shooting

The exact moment that new video evidence undermines claims made by Donald Trump and JD Vance about the killing of Renee Good has emerged, as footage shows the mother-of-three turning her steering wheel away from an armed ICE agent moments before she was shot three times.

The video, filmed from the officer's perspective, shows Ms Good, 37, speaking with the agent after stopping her car to block an immigration raid in Minnesota. She reversed to let other cars pass before being ordered to exit her Honda Pilot. The footage then shows her turning the wheel to the right, away from the officer standing to her front-left, rather than towards him as has been claimed.

The White House and Vice President JD Vance have maintained that the agent acted in self-defence, arguing Ms Good tried to run him over. However, the video suggests she was manoeuvring around him. It also shows the officer switching the phone he was filming with to his other hand, freeing his right hand to draw his weapon ten seconds before firing three shots.

Ms Good, a former Navy veteran, was shot dead in her car after dropping her son at school. Her partner, Becca Good, paid tribute to her, saying "kindness radiated out" of her and that "we had whistles. They had guns." Her ex-husband insisted she was not an activist, describing her as a devoted Christian who had taken part in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland.

Ms Good studied creative writing at Old Dominion University in Virginia and won a prize in 2020 for one of her works. She also hosted a podcast. The shooting has raised questions about the conduct of the ICE agent, with the footage contradicting official characterisations of the incident.
