Woman shot and killed by ICE officer identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A woman was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Wednesday morning during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, officials confirmed.
The incident occurred near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, amid what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described as its largest immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s history, involving approximately 2,000 federal agents.
The deceased has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was reportedly alone in her vehicle at the time of the shooting. DHS officials stated that the incident occurred after what they described as rioters obstructing ICE officers during a targeted enforcement action.
DHS alleged that Good “weaponized” her vehicle in an attempt to strike officers, prompting an ICE agent to fire in self-defense.
DHS described the shooting as a defensive response and characterized the event as “domestic terrorism.” Several ICE officers were reportedly injured during the operation, though all are expected to recover.
However, videos circulating online appear to contradict elements of the federal account.
Footage shows a dark SUV attempting to drive away from the scene when multiple shots are fired, causing bystanders to flee.
The vehicle subsequently collided with a light pole and nearby parked cars. Another video shows a woman leaning over the driver’s seat, indicating the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
Eyewitness accounts provide additional context.
Emily Heller, a resident near 33rd and Portland, told reporters she saw a vehicle blocking traffic near the intersection as part of a protest or confrontation with ICE. According to Heller:
“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car. He pulled out a gun, put it right up on the hood of the car, and then reached across and shot her in the face three or four times.”
Heller said the vehicle then accelerated roughly 100 feet before striking a utility pole and additional parked vehicles. She observed the driver slumped over in the car afterward.
Another witness, Venus DeMars, who arrived after hearing reports of federal activity near Central Elementary School, said:
“I saw them performing CPR behind a snowbank for about a minute. Then the ambulances arrived and placed her on a stretcher.”
DeMars did not witness the shooting itself and could not confirm who fired the weapon. She described the woman as white and said she appeared to be an observer rather than someone being detained.
The scene drew a large crowd of protesters and residents, some of whom engaged in confrontational behavior. Law enforcement deployed pepper spray and tear gas to maintain order. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino was present at the scene along with numerous federal officers.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey confirmed the involvement of a federal ICE officer and criticized the federal presence in the city:
“The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.”
Governor Tim Walz said his public safety team is monitoring the incident and urged residents to remain calm while additional information is gathered.
“In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm,” Walz stated.
Authorities have not released details regarding whether body-camera or other surveillance footage is being reviewed.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not publicly reconciled video evidence with DHS’s official account.
Residents are advised to avoid the area as law enforcement continues to secure the scene and collect evidence.

Investigators Believe Nancy Guthrie Removed From Her Home and Likely Concealed or Disposed of Within a Two-Hour Drive
TUCSON, Ariz. — As the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie continues, analysis of the known timeline suggests she was most likely removed from her residence between approximately 2:30 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. local Tucson time.
Based on that estimated window, investigators and independent analysts believe that if Guthrie was transported from her home, the suspect would have had sufficient time to conceal her or dispose of her remains within a two-hour driving radius of Tucson before first light.
Twilight on Sunday, February 1, 2026, began at approximately 5:40 a.m., providing a limited but significant period of darkness during which a suspect could have traveled undetected.
This geographic radius would encompass large areas of remote desert terrain, rural roadways, mountainous regions, and sparsely populated land across southern Arizona.
Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed a specific search zone but has emphasized that remote areas remain a focus of investigative efforts.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department have been working jointly on the case.
As previously announced, federal authorities recently released four images recovered from Nancy Guthrie’s home surveillance system, including images depicting a masked individual believed to be connected to the case.
Investigators have stated that over the course of eight days, they worked closely with private-sector technology partners to recover digital evidence that may have been lost, corrupted, or rendered inaccessible. Authorities indicated that certain recording devices may have been removed from the home, complicating early evidence collection efforts.
Officials have not publicly confirmed whether Guthrie is deceased, and the case remains classified as a missing person investigation. However, the working theory that she was forcibly removed from her residence during the early morning hours has guided search efforts.
Investigators have emphasized that locations where a victim may have been concealed or transported could still contain critical forensic evidence. If Nancy Guthrie was taken to a secondary location within the estimated timeframe, it is possible that trace evidence — including DNA belonging to both the victim and the perpetrator — could remain recoverable.
Identifying any site containing a combination of Nancy Guthrie’s DNA and that of a suspect would represent a significant breakthrough in the case and could substantially assist law enforcement in determining what occurred.
Authorities continue to urge anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance to come forward. Even seemingly minor details — including unusual vehicle activity, suspicious behavior, or knowledge of remote locations accessed during the early morning hours of February 1 — could prove vital.
Anyone with information related to the case is asked to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
The investigation remains active and ongoing.
