New analysis of ICE shooting video reveals crucial details of Renee Good killing frame-by-frame - The Mirror

A frame-by-frame analysis of the footage clearly shows Ms Good was steering away and around the agent who shot her - and that the agent changed his phone into his left hand

New analysis by the Mirror of the ICE agent's Minnesota shooting video reveals crucial details of Renee Good's shooting, which contradict the version of events being pushed by the White House.

A video of the Minnesota shooting revealed last night shows the final moments of Renee Good's life from the point of view of her shooter.

It directly contradicts claims made by Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, that the mum-of-three was deliberately aiming her car at the ICE agent who shot her, and that he acted in self-defence. A frame-by-frame analysis of the footage, published by right-leaning local outlet Alpha News, clearly shows Ms Good was steering away and around the agent who shot her. It also shows he changed hands on the phone he was using to film the incident, leaving his right hand free to draw his weapon ten seconds later.

As the video starts, we can see the ICE agent exit his car and walk over to Renee Good's maroon Honda Pilot. He walks around the front, at which point she can be seen steering to the left and reversing a little. Renee Good says: "That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you."

The agent walks further around the vehicle, pointing his phone camera at her numberplate as a record of her registration He circles round the car another time, as woman thought to be Renee Good's wife, speaks to him. He switches his phone into his left hand, allowing him continue filming while leaving his right hand free to draw his weapon.

He does this before he walks around the front of her vehicle, and a full 10 seconds before he draws the gun. At this point more ICE agents approach the vehicle, ordering Renee Good to get out of the car, while the shooter walks around the front of her vehicle. After reversing a little, Renee Good can be seen turning her steering wheel fully to the right, and her wheels can be seen turning the same way. His feet are some distance from the wheels of the car as she starts to move.

It's at this point that the shooter draws his weapon, still pointing his phone camera at her car. He fires once through her windscreen, then twice more apparently through her open side window as the car speeds off into parked cars. As the car moves away, a voice can be heard calling Ms Good a "f***ing b***ch."

JD Vance and Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin claimed in posts on X that the new video backs their contention that the officer fired in self-defence. It does not.

“Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman,” Vance said. “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defence.” Minnesota Mayor Jacob Frey said any self-defence argument is “garbage.”

Policing experts said the video didn’t change their thoughts on the use-of-force but did raise additional questions about the officer’s training. “Now that we can see he’s holding a gun in one hand and a cellphone in the other filming, I want to see the officer training that permits that,” said Geoff Alpert, a criminology professor at the University of South Carolina. The video demonstrates that the officers didn’t perceive Good to be a threat, said John P. Gross, a professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School who has written extensively about officers shooting at moving vehicles.

“If you are an officer who views this woman as a threat, you don’t have one hand on a cellphone. You don’t walk around this supposed weapon, casually filming,” Gross said.
