Tension simmers in Minneapolis as new video shows ICE agent's view of fatal shooting

I’m Mike Crawley, a CBC correspondent in Washington.

The CBC News video verification team has confirmed the 47-second video is cellphone footage from the perspective of the ICE agent who shot and killed Good. In previously verified videos, he can be seen holding up a phone in his left hand as he walked around the front of Good’s SUV in the moments before the shooting.

The video starts as the ICE agent gets out of a vehicle and approaches the passenger side of Good’s burgundy Honda Pilot. A black dog can be seen in the back seat, its head out of the open window.

With sirens occasionally sounding in the background, the video shows the agent’s view as he walks around the front of the Honda toward the driver's side. Good, sitting with a hand on the steering wheel, looks out the open driver's-side window directly at the camera, smiles and says "That’s OK dude, I'm not mad at you."

The agent continues to circle the vehicle as he films, walking toward its rear and showing the licence plate as a woman reported to be Good's wife says, "That's OK, we don't change our plates every morning."

The woman can be seen filming the agent with her phone as she says, "It'll be the same plate when you come talk to us later."

The agent completes the circle around the vehicle and is on the passenger side as the woman can be heard saying, "You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, big boy. Go ahead."

That's the moment when two other ICE agents approach the vehicle from the other side and can be heard ordering Good to get out.

Over the course of the next five seconds, the agent moves from the front passenger side to the driver's side, Good can be seen turning the steering wheel to the right, and a shout of "Whoa!" can be heard followed by three gunshots in quick succession, as the video veers wildly to film the sky.

A security expert who analyzed the newly released video, filmed by an ICE officer, initially said in an interview with CBC News Network that the video appeared to have been edited to remove crucial moments that showed when shots were fired at Good.

Thomas Warrick, a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council think-tank, was initially concerned because the video briefly cut to black around the 42-second mark. He later said that upon closer analysis of the video, he did not think it was edited.

CORRECTION — Jan. 9, 2026: An earlier version of this post, based on CBC News Network’s initial interview with Warrick, cited his belief that the video had been edited. Warrick has since said he no longer believes the footage was edited, based on additional analysis and review of multiple angles. CBC News’ visual investigations team was unable to find evidence the video had been edited from its original form. This post has been updated to reflect Warrick's new comments.

I'm Katie Nicholson, CBC's Washington correspondent. I'm standing just outside the Whipple Building, where ICE is based in Minneapolis.

Dozens of protesters are here, standing toe-to-toe with a line of homeland security and ICE agents. There's an unmistakable smell of tear gas in the air, and a little bit of pepper spray still lingering and hitting the back of my throat.

There were a few skirmishes this afternoon before we got here and tensions are clearly still running high as workers put up a chain-link fence outside the entrance to the building.

Earlier today, crews erected a series of concrete barricades in the area. At that time, we watched three protesters stand in the way of the crane as it moved the barriers in place.

The crowd appears much larger and angrier than it was this morning.

A former homeland security officer says the latest video shows how extremely tense the situation was leading up to the shooting.

"It really highlights to me what occurs when you have individual citizens getting involved in trying to disrupt a legitimate law enforcement operation," said Keith Cozine, a professor of homeland security at St. John's University in New York City in an interview with CBC News Network.

Cozine said the immigration enforcement operations taking place across the U.S. may be controversial, but they are legitimate and legal.

"You can debate whether or not the immigration enforcement, the way it's being presented, is right or not, but it is legal and it is being carried out that way," he said.

"By interfering with this, you create situations such as these."

In a statement to Minnesota Public Radio, Becca Good described her late wife as "pure love … pure joy … pure sunshine."

On Wednesday they had stopped in the neighbourhood where Renee Good was shot to "support our neighbours," she said.

"We had whistles. They had guns," Becca Good's statement said.

"Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father. I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way."

The mayor of Minneapolis doubled down today on his calls for ICE to leave the city.

"Our city is safe, our city is welcoming. They are making it less so," Jacob Frey said at a news conference earlier.

"It is a massive issue that they continue to exert their presence in Minneapolis."

Meanwhile, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz has declared a "day of unity" in the state in an effort to calm tensions and prevent more violence.

The Department of Homeland Security has also shared a post with the video on X, with a simple caption saying: "WATCH."

Vice-President JD Vance said the new video supports the Trump administration's characterization of events.

"Watch this, as hard as it is. Many of you have been told this law enforcement officer wasn't hit by a car, wasn't being harassed, and murdered an innocent woman," he wrote on X.

"The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self defense."

I'm a senior writer on the national team who has covered the immigration operations in the U.S. over the past year. We're continuing our coverage today of the fallout from the shooting in Minneapolis.

New video verified by CBC News shows the moments leading up to the death of Renee Nicole Good, 37, in Minneapolis earlier this week.

In the video, Good is visible in the driver's seat speaking to an ICE agent through her open window. She tells them, "It's all good, dude, I'm not mad at you."

Another person can be seen standing outside the car, holding up a cellphone and telling at least one officer to show their face.

Officials in Portland are calling for transparency and accountability after U.S. federal agents shot two people in the city this afternoon.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said a man and a woman were shot during an immigration operation in the city's southeast, claiming a driver had "weaponized" a vehicle against federal officers — a similar allegation made after yesterday's deadly shooting in Minneapolis.

Portland police, who responded to the shooting but whose officers were not involved, said they did not yet have enough information to confirm or deny that claim.

"I have [seen the DHS statement], but I have no information to verify the information on the validity or accuracy of it," Portland Police Chief Bob Day said at an evening news conference.

Like their counterparts in Minnesota did on Wednesday, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson called for ICE to halt all operations in his city until a full investigation could be conducted, while Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek asked for residents to keep the peace and ignore "the bait."

Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, protests and vigils continue in response to the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

The FBI is investigating both shootings.

We’re concluding our live updates for tonight, but we'll have more coverage on cbc.ca/news and in our full story on the Portland shootings.
