A new video sheds more light on what happened before a federal immigration officer fatally shot a woman during an enforcement operation. minneapolisadded context to the shooting that sparked a national debate over whether the officer acted in self-defense or recklessly.
The video, which lasts 3 minutes and 32 seconds, was filmed by a bystander and was posted on X by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sunday. Video showed federal officers and vehicles driving down snow-covered streets, car horns blaring and whistles adding to the cacophony.
The camera pans to the left to show a red SUV parked vertically on the side of the road, blocking part of the road, with the woman inside, Renee Good, honking her horn repeatedly. More than a minute later, Goode pulled the SUV back slightly, clearing part of the road and appeared to wave at vehicles to pass. Two cars passed her on the street.
Goode’s wife appears outside the red SUV, but the video doesn’t clearly show where she was for the next few minutes. Then, after sirens sounded, a black truck with small flashing lights pulled up a few feet away from Goode’s SUV. Just before the video goes out, two officers get out of the truck and walk toward Goode’s car.
Bystander video released last week, shot from multiple angles, shows what happened next.
Video taken by the officer who shot Goode shows one officer asking Goode to get out of her car and another officer trying to open her car door. The officer who was filming moved around to the front of the vehicle.
Goode briefly backed up, placing the filming officer in front of the driver’s side of the vehicle. Goode then turned the wheel to the passenger side and the officer on the driver’s side said again, “Get out of the car.” Almost immediately, her wife, standing on the passenger side, tried to open the door and yelled, “Drive it, baby, drive it!”
The video pans to the sky and gunshots are heard.
Other footage of the shooting shows the officer who fired the weapon holstering his gun, followed by seconds of silence before Goode’s SUV crashed into a parked car.
A woman who appeared to be Goode’s wife ran toward the scene of the accident, and the officer who fired the gun was also walking in the same direction. Bystanders started screaming.
