ICE agent filmed as calm while being antagonised before shooting

A video recorded by an ICE officer shows him standing in front of Renee Good’s car while Good and her wife speak to and taunt him shortly before she was shot and killed in Minneapolis; a visual forensics analyst says the footage misses crucial moments and cannot fully resolve responsibility.

A video recorded by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Minneapolis has been analysed by a visual forensics reporter. The officer has been identified in reporting as Jon Ross and the driver as Renee Good. Analyst Jonathan Baran said the footage shows Ross standing in front of Good’s vehicle while Good was at the wheel and her wife, Rebecca Good, filmed and spoke from outside the car. Baran reported that the camera swings up at the moment the gunfire occurred and does not show some crucial moments. Known details: - The video was filmed by the ICE officer and was confirmed as authentic by the visual forensics analyst Jonathan Baran. - The footage shows the officer positioned in front of Renee Good’s vehicle while Renee Good sat at the wheel and her wife was outside the car speaking and, by the analyst's description, taunting the officer. - Baran said the camera moves upward when the gunfire occurs, so the video does not show exactly what the officer was looking at at the moment he fired or whether he was struck by the vehicle. - Renee Good was shot and later died; the shooting has prompted protests and national debate. Summary: The officer-shot video gives a new perspective on where the officer stood and on the interaction immediately before the shooting but leaves gaps in what can be seen and confirmed. The analyst said the footage cannot fully exonerate or vindicate any party. Investigations and public responses are ongoing. Undetermined at this time.
