The FBI has taken primary control of the investigation into the death of Renee Nicole Good. Authorities report that Good died following an encounter with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison say federal agents have not shared evidence or allowed local investigators full access. The Minneapolis Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says it is not conducting a use-of-force investigation while federal agencies lead the probe.
What officials report:
- The FBI is leading the investigation and officials say local and state authorities have been restricted from the crime scene and evidence.
- Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said her office has not received investigative materials and established an online portal for public information.
- The Minneapolis Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said it is barred from conducting a use-of-force investigation unless the FBI or U.S. Attorney's Office shares evidence.
- Minnesota officials say both the county attorney and the state attorney general assert they have authority to investigate and bring charges; federal officials said DOJ reduced cooperation after the Minneapolis mayor publicly disputed federal accounts.
Summary:
State and local officials say the federal lead has limited their ability to collect evidence and conduct interviews, which affects how local agencies can participate. Undetermined at this time.
