A forensic expert has revealed a ‘significant’ detail in new footage of Renee Good, moments before she was fatally shot on January 7.

ICE agent Jonathan Ross has been identified as the 43-year-old officer who took the life of mom-of-three Good’s life earlier this month.

The 37-year-old spent her final moments behind the wheel of her SUV, before the immigration officer fired two fatal gunshots.

The US Department of Homeland Security has branded the mom as a ‘violent rioter’ who allegedly attempted to ‘weaponize’ her vehicle to run over Ross.

Vice President JD Vance further added to the narrative, after claiming that Good’s behavior was an ‘act of domestic terrorism.’

The law enforcement agents were carrying out raids in Minneapolis and other states, as part of President Donald Trump‘s ‘crackdown’ on illegal immigration across America.

It’s been reported that prior to Good’s brutal death, over 2,000 ICE officers were deployed to the area by the Trump administration, in order to combat crime.

Good, a US citizen, had her vehicle parked across a street, as immigration officers yelled at her to get out of the car.

Footage of the tragic incident from multiple angles has circulated on social media, fueling varied interpretations of what occurred in the moments leading up to her death.

The clip shows Good turning her vehicle’s wheel, as the agent stood near the front left side of her car.

The two had a brief encounter, as she rolled down her window to speak to him.

It was announced by the Vice President earlier this week that Ross would not face prosecution despite killing the 37-year-old.

During a conference with reporters, Vance stated: “The precedent here is very simple.

“You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action, that’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity.”

He further described Good’s death as a ‘tragedy of her own making.’

The Vice President added: “This is a guy who’s actually done a very, very important job for the United States of America.

“He’s been assaulted, he’s been attacked, he’s been injured because of it.

“He deserves a debt of gratitude.”

However, Minnesota governor Tim Walz has taken a very different stance.

Walz claimed that the fatal shooting was ‘totally predictable,’ and is disappointed by the response from the Trump administration.

He said: “This was an agent recklessly using power that resulted in somebody dying.

“It was totally avoidable.”

Renee Good’s family break their silence

Good’s family have spoken out about their heartbreaking loss following the deadly shooting.

They described the mom as ‘loving, forgiving, and affectionate.’

Her family further noted that she is the mom of a six-year-old son, who lost his father in 2023.

What actually happened prior to her death?

After much confusion around what actually happened in the moments leading up to her death, clinical and forensic psychologist, Dr. G on YouTube, reviewed the footage.

And he noticed a significant detail that could change everything.

The detail is focused on Good’s hands, and how she turned her steering wheel to the left, before the shooting took place.

He said that this indicates ‘preparing for action’ and ‘preparing to leave.’

In the footage, her brake and reverse lights are on, which he stated was a plan to escape the scene where possible.

The doctor added that adrenaline would have been pumping throughout her body as the ICE agents surrounded her vehicle.

The expert said: “As soon as she put her car out of reverse, as soon as she started moving forward, then she started turning her steering wheel.

“Her tyres are going to be aiming directly ahead temporarily because she has not fully turned them to the right.”

He further suggested that she went into ‘flight state,’ which is why she seemingly attempted to flee the situation so quickly.

From Ross’ perspective, the doctor revealed that while it may not have been her intention, the car could have looked to have been directly aimed at him.

In her final words during a conversation with the ICE agent, the 37-year-old mom said: “That’s fine, dude.

“I’m not mad at you.”
