A newly published 47-second cellphone video taken from an ICE agent's phone shows the officer's view in the moments before a woman identified in court records as Renee Nicole Good was shot in Minneapolis. CBC News verified the footage, which was first published by Alpha News. Federal officials have said the video supports their account that the officer fired in self-defence, while some analysts dispute that interpretation.
Key facts:
- The video was filmed on an ICE agent's cellphone, lasts about 47 seconds, and was verified by CBC News.
- Federal officials, including the Department of Homeland Security, have said the footage corroborates their statement that the officer's life was endangered and that the shooting was in self-defence.
- A security expert who reviewed the video told CBC that it does not clearly show the vehicle being used as a weapon and that deadly force did not appear necessary.
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty has asked the public to submit any video or other evidence to her office, and federal authorities are leading the investigation.
Summary:
The newly released footage provides additional angles and audio but has not resolved disagreements about whether the use of force was justified. Federal authorities continue to lead the probe while the county attorney is seeking public evidence. The next legal or procedural steps are undetermined at this time.
