Newly released 911 call transcripts and an incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department have provided detailed accounts of the moments following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE officer on January 7.
Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was found unresponsive inside her Honda Pilot SUV shortly after the shooting. According to the fire department report, she was "unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity" when emergency responders arrived at the scene.
Emergency call transcripts reveal that multiple witnesses contacted 911 within minutes of the incident. One caller reported seeing an ICE officer fire two shots through the vehicle's windshield into the driver. The caller said Good attempted to drive away before crashing into a parked vehicle, adding that there was visible blood on the driver.
Another 911 caller, who said he was calling on behalf of Homeland Security officers at the scene, told dispatchers that officers were surrounded by agitators and requested immediate assistance. A separate caller told a dispatcher that Good had been shot by ICE agents after she refused to open her car door.
Fire department records indicate Good had blood on her face and torso when she was found in the driver's seat. The report documented two apparent gunshot wounds to the right side of her chest, one to her left forearm, and a possible gunshot wound to the left side of her head. Blood was also reported coming from her left ear.
Bystander video from the scene shows an individual identifying himself as a physician asking ICE officers for permission to check Good's pulse. The officer refused, instructing him to back away. Responders later moved Good from her vehicle to a nearby location to create distance from what the report described as an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders.
Lifesaving efforts continued at the scene, inside an ambulance, and later at Hennepin County Medical Center. CPR was ultimately discontinued at the hospital, where Good was pronounced dead.
The Department of Homeland Security has said the ICE officer fired in self-defense, alleging that Good used her vehicle in a manner that posed a threat to officers. Federal officials, including President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, have described the incident as an act of domestic terrorism.
The shooting has sparked days of protests in Minneapolis and other cities. The FBI has taken over the investigation, while Good's family has retained legal representation from a Chicago-based law firm that previously represented the family of George Floyd.
