The ICE agent who shot Renee Nicole Good three times at close range in Minneapolis last week was previously involved in a traumatic encounter that saw him dragged more than 100 yards by a suspected undocumented immigrant.
That’s according to new reports focusing on the background of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent caught on film fatally shooting Renee Good as she tried to flee officers on the morning of January 7.
Ross’ identity was revealed online after immense pressure in the aftermath of the aforementioned shooting. Court documents confirming he was the officer who shot Good also detailed how he was seriously injured in a June 17, 2025 incident in Bloomington, Minnesota.
As per the New York Post, an ICE team had then stopped Roberto Carlos Munoz, a suspect with multiple charges against his name. Yet things escalated dramatically when Munoz refused to step out of his vehicle.
According to reports, Ross broke the back driver’s side window in an attempt to unlock the door from inside. Munoz responded by putting his foot on the gas to escape, with Ross’s arm lodged between the seat and the car frame.
The Justice Department claimed that Ross was dragged for over 100 yards as Munoz sped away, swerving from left to right in a bid to shake the ICE officer free.
Ross was reported to have sustained “significant injuries to his arm and hand,” requiring 33 stitches, according to DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
Munoz was later arrested and charged with assaulting a federal officer. He was convicted by a federal jury in December 2024.
Ross, who serves full-time in Minneapolis as a member of ICE’s ERO Special Response Team, was involved in another incident last week – this time responsible for the fatal shooting of 37-year-old mother Renee Good.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem defended the shooting in its immediate aftermath, claiming Ross had acted appropriately. President Donald Trump also voiced his opinion in no uncertain terms, claiming that Ross was lucky to be alive and blaming Good.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, meanwhile, issued a fiery warning to ICE, stating: “To ICE, get the f*** out of Minneapolis. They are not here to cause safety in this city. What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust.”
Concerning the shooting of Good, Frey added: “They are already trying to spin this as an action of self defense. Having seen the video myself, I wanna tell everybody directly, that is bulls**t.”
