A video which apparently shows the fatal ICE shooting in Minneapolis from the perspective of the agent who fired the shots has been published online.
Alpha News, a Minnesota-based site, posted footage Friday that appeared to be from the perspective of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot Renee Good.
The video is seen from the perspective of the person filming as they step out of a vehicle and walk toward a maroon SUV, where a dog is sitting in the back seat.
“That’s fine dude…I’m not mad,” says the woman, who is smiling and sitting in the driver’s seat, as the person filming approaches the driver’s side door.
The person filming then walks towards the back of the car. A reflection of the person recording on the car’s window and rear panel shows a man with his face half-covered with a neck gaiter and holding a cellphone. That man appears to be Ross.
Once positioned behind the SUV, the person recording points the camera at the license plate.
“We don’t change our plates every morning,” a woman standing outside the vehicle, who is also recording on her phone, says. “It’ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later.”
“You wanna come at us?” the woman adds. “I say go get yourself some lunch big boy.”
A separate voice can then be heard saying “get out of the f****** car.”
The person filming then walks around to the front of the vehicle as the driver is seen turning the wheel and reversing. The other individual with a cellphone rattles the passenger’s side door but it appears to be locked.
The driver then moves forward in what appears to be the direction of the person filming, while the woman outside the car appears to say: “Drive, baby drive.”
The person recording then exclaims “woah” as the car approaches. The camera tumbles and gunshots are heard. The car continues to move down the street before it hits a telephone pole and there is a loud crash.
After it was posted by Alpha News, the video quickly generated millions of views and countless reactions online, including from top Trump administration officials.
Vice President JD Vance, who defended Ross’ actions at a White House press briefing Thursday, reposted the video on X.
“Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn’t hit by a car, wasn’t being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman. The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense,” he wrote.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reposted it soon afterwards.
“The media smeared an ICE Agent who properly defended himself from being run over by organized leftist protesters who were impeding an active law enforcement operation,” Leavitt wrote.
“The reason trust in the media is at an all-time low is because they intentionally lie to the public to advance the Democrats’ narrative,” she added. “That’s exactly what they did in this case in Minnesota. More evidence here.”
Democrats said the video did not justify Good’s killing.
Rep. Don Beyer, a Virginia Democrat, reposted a X post that said: “Dog in the back of her car. After school drop off. Am more shocked than ever why he murdered her in a most normal interaction.”
Alpha News was described by a columnist forThe Minnesota Star Tribune as an “upstart conservative media outlet” that “regularly breaks important news, particularly on crime and fraud.”
