Everything we know about ICE agent Jonathan Ross who fatally shot Renee Good in her car as new video captures her final moments

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross has been identified as the man who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good as she drove away in Minneapolis earlier this week.

The killing in Minnesota of Good, a mom-of-three who was unarmed, in a car filled with stuffed toys, has sparked a national conversation around whether masked and armed ICE agents are making communities less safe, with local Mayor Jacob Frey telling ICE to 'get the f**k out of' the city in the aftermath.

Fresh video footage of the incident, allegedly from the officer's phone who shot Good dead, shows the mom smiling to the ICE agent and saying cheerily 'That's fine, dude. I'm not mad at you', as she attempts to leave the scene.

The camera pans to Good's wife, who is on the street protesting against ICE's presence in the city.

Then, when Good attempts to drive away, the officer tells her to stop and steps towards the driver's door, but as she pulls away, he fires multiple shots through the side window at Good and calls her a 'f***ing b*tch'.

Despite the widespread outrage about the agency's tactics following Good's death, with many calling it murder, President Trump spoke out in defence of the ICE agent, penning on Truth Social at the time: "The woman screaming was, obviously, a professional agitator, and the woman driving the car was very disorderly, obstructing and resisting, who then violently, willfully, and viciously ran over the ICE officer, who seems to have shot her in self-defense."

Who was the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good?

Less than 48 hours on from Good's death, the Minnesota Star Tribune identified the shooter as veteran Jonathan Ross - who served in Iraq in 2004 and 2005.

43-year-old Ross, who was seen walking away from the shooting apparently unharmed, was identified by the paper as an active shooter and firearms instructor, as well as an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations employee.

In addition to ICE, the military vet is also a member of the local SWAT team, as well as the FBI's anti-terrorism task force, it is reported.

Unlike the thousands of recruits who have more than doubled ICE's ranks since Trump assumed office 12 months ago, Ross had been working for the enforcement agency since 2015, when he first moved to Minneapolis.

Before this move, Ross had spent eight years working for the Border Patrol, where his role was to 'develop the targets, create a target package, surveillance, and then develop a plan to execute the arrest warrant', according to testimony obtained by Wired.

A 'Christian conservative'

Ross was described by family and friends as a hardcore Christian conservative who, like many in the movement, frequently sports 'don't tread on me' references and Trump stickers.

After reports emerged that Ross was married to someone of Filipino heritage, the 80-year-old father of the ICE agent told the Daily Mail that his wife is a US citizen and that the couple have been married since 2012, but he refused to say anything else.

With intense national scrutiny of what took place on Wednesday, several White House officials, including Vice President JD Vance, have cited a prior serious incident as a seemingly mitigating factor for the fatal shooting.

In June 2025, Ross was dragged approximately 300 ft by a vehicle while carrying out an immigration arrest in Bloomingdale, Minnesota. The driver had refused to roll down his window, leading the veteran officer to smash his window in an attempt to unlock the door.

The BBC reports that as a result of the incident, Ross required a total of 33 stitches in his right arm and left hand and had to fill out a deposition in December, from which a lot of this information has been gleaned.

He described how lots of people appear 'confused' when they are stopped in their vehicle by masked armed agents.

His testimony reads: “I believe it's—it seems to be something that some people just—just say to—to stall.

“I believe a lot of time people are on the phone and they're waiting for people to get—to show up, especially with our line of work. They've got phone trees where they call and then protesters show up.”
