The family of Renee Nicole Good has released preliminary findings from an independent autopsy as part of a private investigation into her death in Minneapolis. Good, a 37-year-old mother, was fatally shot on January 7 after an encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. She had just dropped her six-year-old child at school and was in the car with her wife, Becca Good.
According to the family’s attorneys, Renee and her wife stopped briefly after noticing ICE activity in their neighborhood, intending to observe and support neighbors. During the encounter, ICE agent Jonathan Ross fired multiple shots. Initial reports from local authorities indicated several gunshot wounds.
The independent autopsy identified three confirmed gunshot wound paths and a fourth graze injury. The report concluded that a head wound was the fatal injury. Renee was found unresponsive in her vehicle shortly afterward.
The family’s legal team says the independent findings underscore the need for transparency and accountability. As public debate continues over the use of force, Renee’s loved ones have emphasized remembering who she was—a kind, community-minded person—rather than allowing her death to be reduced to politics or rhetoric.
