The tragic death of Renee Nicole Good in the Minneapolis ICE shooting has sparked intense debate and raised questions about the actions of federal law enforcement. Here's a minute-by-minute breakdown of the events leading up to her death, along with key moments and reactions.
9:35:05 a.m. (Local Time)
- Renee Nicole Good's Honda Pilot is stopped on Portland Avenue, with at least four cars passing by perpendicularly. The passenger side front window is closed, and the rear window is mostly open.
- Federal agents, wearing masks, are seen walking towards the Honda Pilot. Bystanders can be heard whistling and yelling at the officers.
9:36:51 a.m.
- A woman, later identified as Good's partner, stands behind the Honda Pilot and appears to question a federal agent. They seem to be holding up cellphones, filming each other.
- The Honda Pilot moves slightly forward while the woman and agent are behind the car. The vehicle then stops.
9:36:58 a.m.
- A Ford Explorer with California license plates pulls out onto the street. Good appears to gesture for the Ford Explorer to pass in front of her Honda Pilot, which it does.
- Good continues to wave her hand from left to right as two other officers arrive in an unmarked Nissan Titan pickup truck with flashing red and blue lights.
9:37:08 a.m.
- The two officers in the Nissan Titan exit their vehicle and approach the Honda Pilot, ordering Good to 'get out of the car.'
- The Honda Pilot is put in reverse. An officer tries to open the door, but the car backs up a few feet.
- The federal agent walking behind the Honda Pilot moves alongside the right side of the car and positions himself in the front.
9:37:13 a.m.
- Gunfire erupts. The federal agent standing to the front-left of the vehicle pulls out his gun and fires the first shot.
- A second shot is heard about four-tenths of a second later as the car continues to move forward.
- It's difficult to see exactly what happens as the Honda Pilot passes the agent who opened fire. The agent was struck by the vehicle.
- A third shot is heard, with the federal agent remaining upright and facing the driver's side door.
9:37:55 a.m.
- Moments after the shooting, the Honda Pilot crashes into a parked car on the side of Portland Avenue. The woman who identified herself as Good's partner rushes to the car. The federal agent who shot Good is also seen walking towards the vehicle.
- The agent looks at the driver's side of the vehicle and is heard yelling 'call 911.' The woman later identified as Good's partner kneels into the Honda Pilot.
9:42:03 a.m.
- Good remains in her car. Bystanders plead with DHS agents to let a man identified as a physician check on Good, but the agents refuse.
9:43:14 a.m.
- Local first responders arrive at the scene. An EMS technician or firefighter begins pulling Good's body from the car, and firefighters start to render assistance.
9:45:30 a.m.
- Good is carried to the corner of Portland Avenue and 34th Street, where CPR is administered. Seven minutes later, her body is carried into an ambulance.
The aftermath of the shooting sparked intense reactions:
- Minnesota Governor Tim Walz asked folks to remain calm and gather information.
- Senator Tina Smith called for ICE to leave for everyone's safety.
- Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized the ICE agent's actions, calling the self-defense claim 'bulls---.'
- President Donald Trump addressed the shooting, calling the video footage 'horrible' and questioning the ICE officer's survival.
- The U.S. Department of Homeland Security issued a statement, claiming the woman weaponized her vehicle and attempted to run over an ICE officer.
