Incident Report and 911 Transcripts Reveal New Details of Fatal ICE Shooting. Here’s What They Say

An incident report and 911 transcripts have provided new details about Renee Good’s fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis and the chaos that followed.

Paramedics arrived five minutes after Good, a U.S. citizen and mother of three, was shot last week, according to an incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department.

The 37-year-old was found by emergency responders around 9:42 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds: two apparent gunshot wounds on the right side of her chest, one apparent gunshot wound to her left forearm, and “a possible gunshot wound with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head.” She had blood on her face, torso, and leaking from her left ear and dilated pupils, and was “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity,” according to the incident report.

Good was then moved to a nearby location on the block “for a more workable scene, better access for ambulances, and separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders,” the report states. Attempts were made to resuscitate Good before she was taken by ambulance to a hospital, where hospital staff “assumed airway and ventilation responsibilities.” The resuscitation efforts were stopped around 10:30 a.m. 

Good’s shooting has faced widespread scrutiny and sparked nationwide protests against President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.

Administration officials have defended Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who shot Good, and characterized the shooting as an act of “self-defense.” In a statement to TIME, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that Good “weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them—an act of domestic terrorism.” Videos of the confrontation that led to Good’s shooting, however, contradict that account, appearing to show Ross positioned to the side of Good’s SUV and her attempting to drive away when he fires his weapon.

The incident report states that Ross was on scene following the shooting and taken to a federal building about 15 minutes later.

Transcripts from 911 calls directly following Good’s shooting, meanwhile, reveal bystanders’ perspectives of the incident, many of which express anger and shock. 

One 911 caller said they saw “an ICE officer fire two shots through her windshield into the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed into the nearest vehicle that was parked,” according to CNN, which obtained transcripts from the city of Minneapolis. “I saw blood all over the driver then the partner who was trying to provide assistance.”

In another call, a man who said he was calling on behalf of Homeland Security officers requested emergency services. 

“We had officers stuck in a vehicle and we had agitators on scene. And we have shots fired by our locals,” the man said, adding that he did not have a description of the shooter and that he was getting information “from our local joint operation command center.”

The calls began after 9:38 a.m. on Jan. 7, just after Good was shot, and continued for roughly an hour. 

“She’s f–kin’ dead. They f–kin’ shot her,” another caller said to 911. “There’s 15 ICE agents and they shot her, like, cause she wouldn’t open her car door.” The dispatcher responded that help was on the way. 

Communication between Minneapolis police and fire units in the minutes following the shooting, also included among transcripts obtained by media outlets, show that an attempt was made to evacuate federal agents to deescalate the situation. “Contact who is in charge of feds and have them leave scene,” one local officer said at 10:07 a.m. Other messages that followed described the crowd as “getting more agitated” and said that a group of 20 people were attempting to surround ICE officers.

By 11:20 a.m., an officer reported that “all ICE agents have left scene.”

Immigration agents have shot at civilian vehicles on at least 13 occasions since July, the Wall Street Journal found in an investigation published on Jan. 10, days after Good’s shooting. On Thursday, amid the ongoing protests in Minneapolis set off by her killing, a federal officer shot a man in the city after being attacked with a shovel, the Department of Homeland Security said.
Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the U.S. military to Minnesota to quell the unrest.
