In a chilling revelation, newly released 911 transcripts and incident reports detail the chaotic moments after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, at point-blank range in Minneapolis earlier this month. The documents, made public on January 16, 2026, contradict federal claims of self-defense and paint a picture of a harrowing scene marked by panic and confusion.
According to the transcripts obtained by Sky News and Fox News, witnesses described the shooting on January 7, 2026, with one caller stating, ‘They just shot a lady. Point blank range in her car… She’s f*****g dead.’ The calls began at 9:38 a.m., moments after the ICE officer fired multiple shots into Good’s vehicle. Witnesses reported that Good was shot through her windshield as she attempted to drive away, crashing into a parked car. The scene was described as chaotic, with approximately 50 ICE agents present and bystanders in distress.
Incident reports from the Minneapolis Fire Department reveal that paramedics arrived to find Good still alive but with critical gunshot wounds to her chest, forearm, and face. She was unresponsive, not breathing, and had a thready pulse, with blood running from her ear. Paramedics administered CPR and applied a tourniquet at the scene before transporting her to Hennepin County Medical Center, where resuscitation efforts were discontinued at 10:30 a.m., less than an hour after the shooting. Initial reports indicated three gunshot wounds, but the fire department report confirmed she was shot four times, including in the head.
The shooting occurred during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis, a city that has been at the center of the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration. ICE agents were conducting enforcement actions when Good, a U.S. citizen, was shot. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claimed the officer acted in self-defense after Good used her Honda Pilot SUV to block federal vehicles, posing a threat. However, videos and witness accounts contradict this version, suggesting the vehicle was turning away when the officer opened fire.
Local officials, including Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, have rejected the federal account, accusing the Trump administration of ‘political retribution’ and an ‘invasion’ with ICE activity. The release of the 911 transcripts has fueled existing tensions, leading to nationwide protests and calls for accountability. The documents show that the crowd at the scene became hostile, with agitators cutting crime scene tape and throwing snow and ice at federal agents.
In the aftermath, Good’s family has retained the law firm Romanucci & Blandin, which represented George Floyd and Sonya Massey, and has sent an evidence preservation letter to the federal government. The FBI has taken over the investigation, and the ICE agent involved left the scene by 10:04 a.m., according to police reports. The incident has sparked debates over immigration enforcement tactics and the use of force by federal agents.
The ongoing investigation and legal proceedings are expected to shed more light on the circumstances of the shooting. As protests continue, the case highlights the deep divisions over immigration policy in the United States and raises questions about transparency and accountability in law enforcement operations.
