Added intro to this FB post: The more evidence we see, the clearer it becomes that ICE agent Jonathan Ross set the stage so that he would be able to kill Renee Good. He jumped in front of her car so that when she reversed direction, she would be heading toward him, which justified him, under the rules of engagement to shoot Ms. Good through the windshield and then, to make sure he finished the job, he stepped to the side of her car and fired two more shots through her open window from point blank range. To most members of the Red Team, he was fully justified in doing so. The original post follows:
Answer this one question:
Why did he fire two shots through the driver’s open window???
Two questions that need to be answered:
#1. Where was the agent standing when the car approached him?
#2. Where did the shots enter the car?
If all the shots entered through the windshield, then clearly, the agent was in front of the car and possibly in danger. But if shots were fired through the driver’s window, then clearly at that point the agent was not in danger.
Does anyone think the agent should have kept firing at the woman if her car had passed him?
One condition comes to mind: If she had a weapon and was threatening to shoot him.
Does anyone believe that was the case?
Cut to the chase: 2 of the 3 shots fired were:
THROUGH THE DRIVER’S OPEN WINDOW.
These are the answers to those two questions per ChatGPT:
Further discussions on whether the agent was in danger and whether he was justified in firing 3 shots at MS Good need to be based on the facts as they are known at this point in time:
WHERE WAS THE AGENT STANDING AT TIME OF SHOOTING
Here’s what the video evidence and reporting currently show about where the ICE agent was when he fired the shots that killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis:
Agent’s Position at the Time of Shooting
• In the newly released cellphone video recorded by ICE agent Jonathan Ross (the agent who fired the shots), he is seen walking around the SUV and approaching from the front/side area before the shooting occurs.
• Just before the shots are fired, the video and multiple news analyses show the ICE agent standing near the front-left quarter of the SUV as the vehicle begins to move. He fires three shots as the SUV passes by him.
• According to a detailed timeline from ABC News, the agent’s left hand was still holding his phone and right hand his weapon when he fired through the front windshield while the SUV was moving forward.
Was He “In Front of the Car”?
• The reporting indicates the agent was positioned in front of – or just slightly to the side of – the car’s path when he fired the shots. This is why some outlets describe him as being “in front” of the vehicle at the moment he fired.
• He was not behind the SUV or completely out of the vehicle’s path when shots were fired. Video suggests the shots were fired as the vehicle moved past him and may have made contact with him or his leg.
Context & Conflicting Accounts
• Federal officials claim the shooting was self-defense, alleging Good’s vehicle was used as a weapon and struck the agent.
• Local authorities, experts, and some video analyses dispute the federal narrative, arguing the agent placed himself in front of the vehicle and fired even though the SUV’s wheels were turned away.
Summary
So, to answer your question directly:
Yes — video evidence shows the ICE agent was standing in front (or slightly to the front-side) of Renee Good’s vehicle when he fired the shots. He was not safely away from the vehicle but close enough that the SUV was moving past him as he fired.
If you want, I can summarize the key frames of the video or explain the different official vs. independent interpretations in more detail.
WHERE DID THE SHOTS ENTER THE VEHICLE
Shot entry locations
According to news reports and video analysis:
• At least one shot was fired through the front windshield of Renee Good’s SUV. The bullet hole can be seen in the windshield of her vehicle afterward.
• Additional shots were fired through the open driver’s-side window after the vehicle had begun moving past the agent. Some footage suggests two of the other shots penetrated the driver’s side window area as she continued forward.
What the footage shows
• Video from the ICE agent’s cellphone indicates the agent stood near the front-left side of the SUV when the shots were fired.
• As the vehicle moved forward, shots were discharged in quick succession. The first one went through the windshield; later shots appeared to go through the driver’s side area as the car passed the agent.
Context of the shooting
• The shooting occurred during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, when an ICE agent fired multiple rounds at Good as her vehicle began to move.
• Officials have claimed the agent acted in self-defense, alleging Good’s vehicle posed a threat. Critics and video analysts dispute whether the agent was actually in immediate danger and question the positioning.
The following is from a subsequent post on the same topic, Note, the referenced article was written in 2014. We maintain that this was the policy that was in effect when Jonathan Ross started with ICE. While the policy was officially discontinued, his actions in the case of Renee Good were exactly what the old policy called for.
A friend sent me a link to an article regarding a policy of Border Patrol Agents of deliberately stepping in front of vehicles so that they can justify the use of deadly force. Here is a link: https://share.google/NPx5Ath56VXEe6W8b
