Multiple recordings from private security cameras and from different angles now draw a clear, internally consistent picture of the events in Minneapolis. They show that Renee Nicole Good did not attempt to run over an officer of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The decisive new camera angle captures the seconds before the shots were fired and contradicts the official account of the U.S. government on a central point. The SUV of the 37-year-old mother is standing crosswise on Portland Avenue. The vehicle begins to move slowly, without steering toward an officer. An agent is standing in front of the car, but is neither hit nor brushed. The car passes him without contact. Forensic analyses now confirm that there was no collision. The claim that an officer was struck or threatened cannot be substantiated by the available video material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nevertheless, an ICE officer draws his weapon and fires at close range into the interior of the vehicle. The driver is hit while the car continues to roll. The SUV later crashes into two parked vehicles and comes to a stop. Good is left severely injured inside her car. She is taken to Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening gunshot wounds to the head, where she dies shortly afterward. The Trump administration\u2019s portrayal of the incident as an act of \u201cdomestic terrorism\u201d finds no basis in these sequences. The videos show no attack, no deliberate driving toward officers, no reckless acceleration. They show a woman trying to remove herself from a situation in which she was suddenly confronted by federal agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The minutes before the fatal shots can now also be reconstructed. The security camera shows that Renee Good first pulled over to the right side of the road and allowed a person to exit from the passenger side. She then began to turn around, which is why her vehicle was positioned crosswise in the street. During this time, she allowed other cars to pass. Only then did vehicles of the immigration authorities stop, and agents got out and approached her on foot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
