Killing of Renée Good by ICE: 3D analysis
Published on . Updated on .
On 7 January 2026 in Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old motorist, Renée Good. Federal authorities immediately invoked self-defence, claiming that the victim had attempted to drive into the agent. Index’s 3D analysis contradicts this account: it shows that the agent was neither in the vehicle’s path nor in immediate danger at the moment of the shots.

On 7 January 2026, in Minneapolis, an agent of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) killed Renée Good, a 37-year-old motorist, firing three shots into her vehicle. Federal authorities immediately invoked self-defence: the driver had allegedly attempted to drive into the agent.
Using videos filmed by witnesses, we reconstructed the scene in three dimensions, through photogrammetry and audiovisual analysis. On 21 January 2026, the release of the footage recorded by the phone of Jonathan Ross, the agent who fired, enabled us to complete this model and to specify the position of his body in relation to the moving vehicle.
Our reconstruction contradicts the federal authorities’ account on three points:
the agent was not in the vehicle’s path at the moment of the shots;
he was not struck by the vehicle;
he aimed at vital parts of the driver’s body while he was out of immediate danger.
This analysis is based on the images made public to date and does not constitute a definitive expert report. We will continue to follow the case and to refine our reconstruction as new elements are made public.
