The ICE officer responsible for the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis has been identified as Jonathan Ross, the same officer who was dragged by a vehicle in June 2025. The incident occurred during a targeted operation when a woman allegedly attempted to run over law enforcement, prompting the officer to fire in self-defense. Conflicting accounts and video footage have emerged, with federal officials supporting the self-defense claim while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has publicly disputed it. The shooting has intensified tensions, as the city calls for ICE agents to leave while DHS defends the officer’s actions.

ICE officer who fatally shot woman in Minneapolis identified. The name of the officer who discharged his weapon, ending Renee Good’s life, is Jonathan Ross. That name is now out there, and it’s important to remember it.
The events leading up to this tragedy, and the aftermath, raise serious questions. It’s concerning that Jonathan Ross was previously involved in a car incident back in June, where he was injured. This prior incident involved him being dragged by a vehicle. This makes it hard to understand how he found himself in a similar situation, again, only a few months later. Many are questioning why he was put back in a position to encounter such situations. It just doesn’t make sense.
If we’re getting the timeline right, Jonathan Ross apparently killed Renee Good in January after a prior incident involving a vehicle. It would seem he was aware of the potential danger of a moving vehicle, yet he put himself in harm’s way again, which resulted in the fatal shooting. The fact that this happened twice in a short span of time is a major red flag, it’s not something properly trained officers should experience repeatedly.
The reporting around this incident has been, to say the least, suspect. Some news outlets appear to be attempting to frame the prior car dragging as justification for the shooting, which is outrageous. The most glaring issue is the alleged denial of medical assistance to Renee Good after she was shot. This is a severe breach of protocol and a potentially illegal action. The fact that medical aid was seemingly withheld, especially in light of the shooting, is deeply disturbing. It feels like they wanted her dead.
And the bigger picture here is the disturbing reality of the situation. This is a tragedy involving an innocent woman, a mother, whose life was taken. The notion that ICE officers, the “boys who want to play COD on the streets,” are attacking civilians is beyond troubling. It raises serious questions about the training, conduct, and oversight of these officers. Those who defend the actions of Jonathan Ross need to address the horrific reality of the situation and the fact that Renee was denied medical attention.
The press conference by J.D. Vance was quite a spectacle, and quite shameful. The tone seemed to shift to gaslighting, offering no real solutions and, worse, asking for prayers for the officer who pulled the trigger. The whole narrative is suspect, especially the initial reasoning behind the stop. Why were they even bothering a middle-aged white woman in the first place? It makes you wonder what was going on there.
Considering the history and the fact that Jonathan Ross has PTSD, it does not sound like he should have been armed. It seems there was little to no vetting. If an officer has experienced such a traumatic incident, and has not gone through proper mental health evaluations, he should not be issued a weapon.
The fact is, even if you buy into the justifications being offered, the fact remains that a mother, a citizen, was killed. Jonathan Ross’s name needs to be kept in the forefront. This event should be a wake-up call, and it seems this one particular ICE officer has a pattern of putting himself in dangerous situations. He seems to be a danger to himself and to others.
Renee Good dropped her 6-year-old child off at school and then was shot and killed. The details of the shooting paint a clear picture. The officers approach, one yelling, demanding she get out of the car. The officer then attempts to open the door, then reaches inside the open window to unlock the door, and then she puts the car in reverse, the officer starts shooting. According to the statements, she did not step on the gas and then she was shot. It seems Jonathan Ross intentionally walked in her blind spot and came around the passenger side to increase the danger, and then he shot her. It seems she barely even had time to see his face before he took her life.
The larger question is, what happens as a nation when our own citizens are shot by law enforcement officers, and then lies are told? Where is the accountability? This is an appalling situation.
The official confirmation by the Department of Homeland Security that Jonathan Ross was also the officer dragged by a vehicle in June only adds to the gravity of the situation. Jonathan Ross seems to repeatedly put himself in these dangerous scenarios. The fact that the same officer was involved in both incidents raises serious questions about his judgement and the protocols in place to ensure officer safety and prevent unnecessary escalation.
It seems to be the consensus that the man in question is going to have a very bad time and will have to deal with the consequences of his actions. This situation has the potential to become a rallying point for those frustrated with ICE and its practices.
The focus should be on holding Jonathan Ross accountable for his actions. The fact that he allegedly repeatedly engaged in dangerous behavior shows a lack of regard for his own safety and, more tragically, for the life of Renee Good. The need for prosecution, and for justice, is paramount. This should be a reminder that if an ICE officer does something illegal, there are still real-world consequences.
