ICE Shooting of Renée Good : Preliminary 3D analysis

Published on

On January 7, 2026, in Minneapolis, an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old motorist, Renee Good. Federal authorities immediately invoked self-defense, claiming that the victim had attempted to ram the agent. Index's preliminary 3D analysis contradicts this version: it shows that the agent was neither in the vehicle's trajectory nor in immediate danger at the moment of the shots.

On January 7, 2025, an agent of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, firing three shots into her vehicle.

Following the release of witness footage, Index conducted a preliminary visual analysis and 3D reconstruction of the event. Our findings contradict the claims made by federal authorities regarding the agent's safety:

  • Trajectory: Our 3D model shows the agent was not in the path of the SUV when the shots were fired.

  • Physical Contact: The analysis indicates the agent was not struck by the vehicle.

  • Targeting: The shooter fired at lethal areas of Good’s body from a position where he was not in immediate danger.

This preliminary investigation utilises photogrammetry, audiovisual analysis and 3D reconstruction to provide a factual account of the incident.

Update (January 21, 2026): following the release of footage from Agent Ross’s phone, Index has produced an updated 3D analysis, building upon our preliminary findings published on January 9, 2026. The integration of the phone footage into our model allowed us to refine the positioning of the agent’s body in relation to the moving vehicle. This new data reinforces our initial conclusions listed above.
