Bystander videos contradict Trump claim that Good ‘ran over’ ICE agent

As Minnesotans piece together how the deadly ICE agent shooting of a woman Wednesday in Minneapolis played out, two bystander videos have become key to those seeking to understand ― and interpret ― what happened.

Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot by an ICE agent on Portland Avenue near E. 34th Street in the Central neighborhood the morning of Jan. 7.

The incident is under investigation by the FBI, but politicians and pundits have turned to the videos to argue the shooting was justified or unjustified.

The videos do not support the claim made by President Donald Trump that Good “ran over the ICE Officer."

Trump doubled down on that position in an Oval Office interview with the New York Times on Jan. 7.

According to the Times, Trump asked an aide to play one of the videos. When the Times reporter asked the president about the lack of clarity and whether he believed it was acceptable to fire into a moving vehicle, Trump blamed Good, and sidestepped questions about whether her death meant his immigration crackdown had gone too far.

“She behaved horribly,” Trump said. “And then she ran him over. She didn’t try to run him over. She ran him over.”

The truck’s lights are flashing and an ICE agent exits the passenger side. That agent and another agent approach Good’s vehicle. They order her to get out of the vehicle, at one point using an expletive.

One agent attempts to open the driver’s side door, unsuccessfully, as Good reverses her SUV.

As she reverses and turns, a third officer comes into view standing near the front driver’s side of the car. He draws his gun as Good drives forward, her front wheels turned away from the officer. Three shots ring out. It looks as though the ICE agent steps back as the car advances.

The officer does not fall and is walking as Good’s car drives away from the bystander’s camera. Her vehicle comes to a rest after hitting a parked car.

A second video, taken by an unidentified bystander down the street and posted by KSTP, shows the shooting from a different angle. It begins moments before the ICE agent fired, with the Pilot obscured behind another vehicle.
