    New video emerges of ICE agent shooting Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis

    The new footage, reposted by the White House on social media, shows the recording made by the agent responsible for the shooting.


    New video has emerged of the moment an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old woman in her car in the US city of Minneapolis.

    The shooting of Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday, local time, has sparked international outrage amid an ongoing immigration enforcement surge.

    The new footage, reposted by the White House on social media, showed the recording taken from the phone of the agent responsible for the shooting.

    Ms Good had been at the scene in the city's south as a legal observer — a volunteer monitoring government officers at protests and operations in an effort to deter misconduct.

    The 47-second clip begins as the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer, Jonathan Ross, exits his car and approaches Ms Good's Honda SUV, which is partially blocking traffic.

    As he circles the car, Ms Good speaks to him through the open car window. 

    Mr Ross then films the vehicle's licence plate and encounters Ms Good's wife, Becca Good, who tells him: "We don't change our plates every morning, just so you know."

    "It'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That's fine. US citizen," she says.

    Becca Good appeared to be referencing reports from late last year, when Minnesota's Driver and Vehicle Services said they had received multiple reports of ICE agents changing or removing their licence plates while patrolling Minneapolis.

    As Mr Ross speaks to Becca Good, another agent approaches Renee Good in the vehicle and orders her to get out of the car.

    She can be seen reversing briefly, then putting the car into gear and turning the steering wheel, apparently trying to drive away.

    Shots are heard as the car moves forward, and the car briefly disappears from the frame of the video as the officer's hand holding the phone appears to flail about.

    The video then shows the car careening down the street, while someone can be heard muttering, "F***ing bitch."

    Other videos of the shooting show Ms Good turning her wheels away from Mr Ross as she drives forward, while he fires three shots while jumping backward from the front of the car.

    The final two shots appear to be aimed through the driver's side window, after the car's front bumper has already passed by the officer's legs.

    It is unclear whether Mr Ross made any contact with the car, but videos show he stayed on his feet and walked calmly toward the car after the shooting.

    The video was verified by Reuters, which corroborated the location via nearby buildings and trees. 

    They also matched the new vision to previous footage of the same incident, matching the imagery, the position, colour and licence plates of the vehicles, and the timing of the three shots fired. 

    Renee Good's wife speaks: 'We had whistles, they had guns'

    Renee Good has been remembered as a person who radiated "pure love", "pure joy", and "pure sunshine".

    She was a mother of three, the youngest of whom was a six-year-old boy whose toys could be seen in the car's front seat after the shooting.

    The child was not present during the incident.

    In a statement, Becca Good said the couple had moved to Minnesota to "make a better life for ourselves".

    "We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness," she said.

    "Renee lived this belief every day.

    "On Wednesday, January 7th, we stopped to support our neighbours. We had whistles. They had guns."

    "I am now left to raise our son and continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him.

    "That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way."

    Local attorneys have called on the public to submit any evidence they have related to the shooting.

    They — along with local law enforcement — alleged they have been shut out of the FBI's investigation into the incident.

    Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, whose office covers Minneapolis, said state investigators had not been given access to evidence such as Ms Good's SUV.

    Trump administration officials have defended the shooting as an act of self-defence and accused Ms Good of deliberately aiming her car at the agent in an act of "domestic terrorism". 

    This narrative, which officials have said is belied by video evidence, has been described by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey as "garbage". 

    Asked whether the FBI should share evidence with local officials, President Donald Trump said: "Well, normally I would, but they're crooked officials." 

    Vice-President JD Vance claimed during a White House briefing on Thursday, local time, that Mr Ross was "protected by absolute immunity".

    "The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity," he said.

    "I've never seen anything like that."

    Ms Moriarty later denied this was true.

    "I can say that the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here," she said.
