Federal authorities reported that the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent who fatally shot Renee Good during a confusing
and violent encounter in Minneapolis suffered internal bleeding in his torso, a
detail that reinforces the official version that he acted in self-defense.
According to officials close to the case, the injury
occurred when Good's vehicle directly struck the agent, identified as Jonathan
Ross, a veteran of approximately ten years of law enforcement. Following the
collision, Ross required medical attention, though authorities have not
specified the exact severity of his condition or the recovery time required.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed the
internal injury but declined to provide further clinical details, citing
medical privacy laws. This reticence has fueled both the agent's defense and
the doubts of those demanding greater transparency about what happened.
For the federal government, the fact that the agent was
seriously injured is a key element in arguing that he was in immediate danger
when he fired. However, the case remains under intense public and political
scrutiny, as Good's death sparked protests—small in number, but still
protests—and heightened polarization in the city and across the state.
As the investigation continues, the incident has become a
new focal point of debate regarding the circumstances under which a lethal
response is justified.
