Warning: This article contains descriptions of violence and trauma which some readers may find distressing.
Renee Good’s family has released some of the results of an independent autopsy report after launching a private investigation into her death.
On January 7, Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The 37-year-old had just dropped her six-year-old off at school and was inside the car with her wife Becca Good.
As they drove back home, they spotted a group of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and stopped to ‘observe, with the intention of supporting and helping their neighbors,’ Romanucci and Blandin law firm – who now represent Good’s family – told People.
Good ended up being fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross. A report conducted by Minneapolis Police and Fire Department revealed the mom-of-three was shot twice in the chest, once in the forearm and queried another possible gunshot wound to the head.
Hiring the same law firm which represented George Floyd’s family, Good’s loved ones have since conducted an independent autopsy report alongside launching a private investigation into her killing.
Romanucci and Blandin has since released its preliminary findings at the family’s request, detailing the need for ‘continued transparency with the public on this tragedy’.

The pathologist’s report, as seen by People, identified three clear gunshot wound paths. One bullet struck Good’s left forearm, another her right breast and the third gunshot struck the left side of her head.
The first bullet resulted in soft tissue hemorrhage, the second missed any vital organs – neither immediately life-threatening – but it was the third which proved fatal, entering the left side of Good’s head before exiting via the right.
A fourth wound was also discovered and identified as a firearm injury, however, it was labelled a graze wound opposed to a penetrative wound.
The report confirms Good was discovered unresponsive in her car at around 9.42am local time.
Lead attorney Antonio M. Romanucci explained the evidence the firm is gathering ‘and will continue to gather’ will help ‘prove [their] case’.

He added: “The video evidence depicting the events of January 7, 2026, is clear, particularly when viewed through the standards of reasonable policing and totality of circumstances. Additionally, our legal team will continue its unwavering and proactive advocacy for Renee’s life and her family.”
As further details surrounding Good’s killing continue to emerge, her family has stressed the importance of not losing sight of what truly matters.
In a statement to The Guardian, Good’s sister-in-law Jess Fletcher emphasized: “There’s been so much hateful rhetoric back and forth, and what’s been missed is painting a picture of who Renee was.”

On January 7, 37-year-old Good was shot by Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent part of the ongoing raids in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Good was behind the wheel of her car at the time of the incident and after she was shot her car veered into two parked vehicles.
Her death has since sparked nationwide – if not worldwide – outrage as many have questioned whether the use of lethal force in this instance was necessary.
Many, including Minneapolis major Jacob Frey, have said it wasn’t justified but the Trump administration rushed to defend Ross’ actions, arguing that Good ‘weaponized her vehicle’ and Ross shot at her in retaliation.

As debates continue about the tragic incident, cellphone footage taken by Ross has been obtained by Alpha News that documented the moments before and after Good was killed.
In the video Ross exits his car and walks over to Good’s. She tells him ‘that’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you’ as he proceeds to document her registration plate.
Good’s wife Becca is then heard telling him: “We don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It’ll be the same plate when you come back to us later.”
Another agent then tells Good to ‘get out of the f***ing car’ but she drives off. Ross then proceeds to shoot at her and the car is seen smashing into two parked vehicles nearby.
“F***ing b***h,” a male voice, thought to be Ross’, is then heard saying.

In the wake of Good’s sudden death, a GoFundMe has raised over $1.5 million for her wife and family, sparking Becca to speak out and thank people for their support.
She said in a moving statement shared with MPR News: “First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.
“This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.”

“Renee sparkled,” the grieving wife went on to say. “She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.
“Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.”

The last words of the 37-year-old mom killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis were captured during the fateful few seconds between driving away and tragically being shot dead.
Renee Nicole Good died just a few blocks from her home after being gunned down by an ICE agent on Wednesday (January 7), sparking outrage across the US.
Cellphone footage, obtained by local outlet Alpha News, appears to show the moments before the incident from the perspective of the agent who fatally shot Good.
In the 47-second recording, the ICE officer gets out of his vehicle and approaches Good’s Honda Pilot. As he makes his way around the car, sirens can be heard blasting in the background of the footage.
