Watch: ICE agent's video shows moments before Minnesota killing

The mayor of Minneapolis called Friday for state investigators to be allowed to join the federal probe into the killing of a US woman by immigration enforcement, accusing the Trump administration of prejudging the case.

The call came as a video obtained by US media outlet Alpha News appears to show the last moments before mother-of-three Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent.

The 47-second long video filmed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross on his mobile phone shows Good sitting in her Honda Pilot with her dog in the back seat. 

Ross walks round the car as Good smiles at him through the open window and says calmly "It's fine dude, I'm not mad at you". 

Her wife Rebecca, who is outside the car and is filming the interaction on her own phone, tells the officer: "We don't change our (number) plates every morning. Just so you know. It will be the same plates when you come back to us later. You go get yourself some lunch." She also points out they are "US citizens". 

As Ross is heard telling Good to "get out of the car", she is then seen reversing the car before driving forward, hitting the officer. Gunshots are heard off camera as somone says "f***ing bitch".

Minnesota officials have complained that their law enforcement have been excluded from the investigation into the killing of Good by a federal immigration officer on Wednesday.

A local prosecutor said Friday federal investigations had taken Good's car and the shell casings.

US President Donald Trump's administration has sought to paint the victim as a "domestic terrorist," insisting that the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who fatally shot her was acting in self-defense.

"This is not the time to bend the rules. This is a time to follow the law... The fact that Pam Bondi's Department of Justice and this presidential administration has already come to a conclusion about those facts is deeply concerning," Minneapolis mayor Jacob Frey, a Democrat, told a briefing on Friday.

"We know that they've already determined much of the investigation," he said, adding that the state's Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has consistently run such investigations.

"Why not include them in the process?" Frey said.

"We're not even talking just about full control here. We're talking about being at the table."

On Thursday US Vice President JD Vance asserted that the ICE officer, named in US media as Jonathan Ross, had "absolute immunity" -- a claim disputed by local prosecutors.

Court filings seen by AFP showed that in June 2025, Ross was dragged 100 yards along a road by a car driven by a man who was the subject of immigration enforcement activity.

'Get out'

Minnesota officials have said that local investigators were initially invited by the FBI to participate in the inquiry into the shooting of Good, but were subsequently blocked from the probe.

Good, 37, was shot in the head as she apparently tried to drive away from ICE in the midwestern US city as officers approached her car, which they said blocked their way.

Good was one of four people who have been killed by ICE since Trump launched his immigration crackdown a year ago, while seven others have been injured, reported The Trace, an outlet that tracks gun violence.

Good's wife Becca Good told local media that they had gone to the scene of immigration enforcement activity to "support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns."

"We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness," she said.

Local prosecutor Mary Moriarty, the Hennepin County attorney, said "our goal must be that a thorough investigation is completed at the local level."

"The FBI currently has, for example, Ms Good's car, the shell casings and witness interviews.

"The FBI has taken the car, and so any forensic analysis that comes from that would not be available to us -- unless they were sharing that."

Moriarty unveiled an online evidence portal, calling for submissions so that all available leads could be compiled.

She added that she hoped federal authorities would reconsider and "at least" give local detectives access to evidence.

Large, noisy crowds gathered around Minneapolis in protest on Thursday, chanting slogans against ICE. Federal immigration officers armed with pepperball guns and tear gas wrestled several protesters to the ground.

Protest action was more subdued Friday with some 20 people gathering at a federal facility that has become a focal point of anti-ICE demonstrations.

There was a minute of silence for Good at a briefing held by Minneapolis Families for Public Schools.

"ICE needs to get out of Minnesota, we don't need them here, these are not criminals -- and actually ICE, they are the criminals," Minneapolis resident Eleanor told AFP.
