New details about the shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week have revealed the chaotic situation on the ground as the emergency services raced to her aid.
Good, a 37-year-old mother-of-three and poet, was shot dead by federal agent Jonathan Ross just after 9:37 a.m. on Wednesday January 7, while sitting behind the wheel of her maroon Honda Pilot. She and other locals had come out to protest the presence of immigration forces on their streets.
Footage of the confrontation that led to Goods death was captured by bystanders on cell phones, who quickly uploaded their videos to social media where it was closely scrutinized around the world, leading to widespread outrage and mass demonstrations in U.S. cities.
Sixty pages of incident reports submitted by the Minneapolis police and fire departments and 911 call logs obtained by The New York Times now reveal precisely how the official response played out.

Of particular import is whether it was the first, maybe kinda arguably sorta if you squint really hard "justified" shot, or one of the two unequivocally, obviously blatantly illegal shots he took from well to the side of the vehicle, after he was 100% clearly safe, that actually caused her death. I'd give 5 to 1 odds that first shot missed and one of the other two killed her.
THAT is the part I'd guess DHS *really* doesn't want coming out publicly, and IMHO people aren't talking enough about the point that the 2nd and 3rd shots were clearly illegal
Renee and her family

(2,918 posts)the crime scene forensics. Things like "oh, we found that one bullet missed and is lodged in her passenger-side back seat" or "was found inside the passenger front door panel" it seems could be extremely helpful, but if that info is withheld, at minimum it *could* make coming to a definitive conclusion more difficult, or possibly impossible.
There needs to be a full-blown official MN state homicide investigation, and they need to demand this information from the Feds (which from what I've read, they're withholding, likely to help PREVENT such an investigation). Take 'em to court if necessary!
