Harrowing footage taken after Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot reveals the words the ICE officer responsible for her death muttered afterwards.
On January 7, 37-year-old Good was shot by Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent part of the ongoing raids in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Good was behind the wheel of her car at the time of the incident and after she was shot her car veered into two parked vehicles.
Her death has since sparked nationwide - if not worldwide - outrage as many have questioned whether the use of lethal force in this instance was necessary.

Many, including Minneapolis major Jacob Frey, have said it wasn't justified but the Trump administration rushed to defend Ross' actions, arguing that Good 'weaponized her vehicle' and Ross shot at her in retaliation.
As debates continue about the tragic incident, cellphone footage taken by Ross has been obtained by Alpha News that documented the moments before and after Good was killed.
In the video Ross exits his car and walks over to Good's. She tells him 'that’s fine dude, I’m not mad at you' as he proceeds to document her registration plate.
Good's wife Becca is then heard telling him: "We don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It'll be the same plate when you come back to us later."
Another agent then tells Good to 'get out of the f***ing car' but she drives off. Ross then proceeds to shoot at her and the car is seen smashing into two parked vehicles nearby.
"F***ing b***h," a male voice, thought to be Ross', is then heard saying.
In the wake of Good's sudden death, a GoFundMe has raised over $1.5 million for her wife and family, sparking Becca to speak out and thank people for their support.
She said in a moving statement shared with MPR News: "First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family.
"This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her."
"Renee sparkled," the grieving wife went on to say. "She literally sparkled. I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.
"Renee lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow. Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole."
