The officer identified as the one who fatally shot a mother in Minneapolis has been revealed to be Jonathan Ross, as first reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune, along with Fox9 and The Intercept. According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the officer who shot Renee Nicole Good, 37, on January 7th was the same one who had been "dragged" and injured by a driver in June.
The circumstances closely match a June 17th, 2025 incident in Bloomington, Minnesota, where Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala was found guilty of assault in federal court in December. In that case, the officer, identified as Ross in court documents, was punched through a window after stopping Munoz-Guatemala, who then tried to flee and dragged Ross "more than 100 yards" with his arm still in the car, leaving him with bloody injuries.
ICE and the Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to requests for comment but later issued a statement defending the officer's actions and stating that the agency would not release his identity. "We are not going to expose the name of this officer. He acted according to his training," said ICE Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "DHS will never confirm or deny attempts to doxx our law enforcement officers. Doxxing our officers puts their lives and their families in serious danger."
On January 7th, Good was seen reversing her Honda Pilot as ICE agents attempted to open her car door. When the agent opened fire, he first shot through the windshield and then twice through the vehicle's open window, killing Good. The incident was captured on multiple bystander videos.
Minneapolis City Council member Jason Chavez previously described Good as "an observer... watching out for our immigrant neighbors," as reported by ABC News. The masked agent can be seen on video going to the scene where Good's car crashed into another, then walking away, getting into an SUV and leaving the area.
In a post on X, the Department of Homeland Security accused Good of "weaponizing her vehicle" in an "act of domestic terrorism." President Donald Trump shared his thoughts on the shooting on Truth Social, describing the woman's death as a "horrible thing to watch," and claiming that the officer "seems to have shot her in self-defense."
"The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE Officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense," Trump wrote.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the White House's version of events "bulls---" and suggested that ICE - which has been deployed to the city under the guise of rooting out alleged fraud by childcare agencies - "get the f--- out" of the city. The Associated Press reported that Minnesota's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said that federal authorities are barring it from taking part in the investigation of the shooting. Large-scale protests against ICE entered their second day in the Twin Cities on Thursday.
