Patriot Brief
What Happened: A newly shared video shows the moments leading up to the deadly shooting of Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement operation.
What the Video Shows: Witness-recorded footage captures Good’s SUV stopped diagonally in the street with honking heard; she appears in the vehicle moving to the rhythm of the honks before the video ends just before shots are fired.
Bottom Line: The clip ends prior to the shooting, leaving full context incomplete while the incident continues to draw intense national debate and scrutiny.
New video footage has surfaced showing the crucial moments just before a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fired the shots that killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis earlier this week.
The roughly three and a half minute clip was filmed by a nearby resident from inside their home. According to descriptions shared online, Good’s vehicle comes into view around 45 seconds into the video, positioned perpendicular in the street and remaining in that spot for most, if not all, of the recording.
Throughout the video, loud honking is audible, with some observers noting that it appears to be coming from Good’s vehicle. She is seen in the driver’s seat, and some commentators even described her as moving to the honks, which has fueled debate about her behavior just before the deadly encounter.
Important to note is that the footage stops moments before any shots are fired, leaving out the final, tragic second that led to Good being killed by an ICE agent.
This new visual record has added another layer to an already highly contested and emotional national story. Federal officials have defended the agent’s use of force, asserting that Good’s movements posed a threat, while critics and local officials question whether the full picture supports that claim.
Regardless of interpretation, this clip underscores how quickly a situation can escalate and shows why video evidence — even incomplete — has become central to the public’s understanding and reaction to what happened in Minneapolis.
As investigations continue, Americans will likely see more footage and hear more testimony from both sides of the debate about law enforcement authority and how best to protect the public while enforcing federal law.
