Table of Contents
A U.S. immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis on Wednesday is connected by court records too a separate june incident in Minnesota, where an ICE agent was dragged by a vehicle during a high‑risk arrest. Federal officials have not publicly named the officer in Good’s death.
In the June case, records identify an ICE agent named Jonathan Ross as injured while detaining a guatemalan migrant. Ross suffered a substantial wound to his right arm and required more than 50 stitches, with additional cuts on his knee, elbow and face, according to court documents.
Ross has been with ICE in Minnesota since 2017. Minnesota’s arm of the Indiana National Guard confirmed he previously served there, deploying to Iraq for one year in late 2004 with the 138th Signal Battalion.He remained in the National Guard until 2008, earning commendations including the Army Commendation Medal, Army Good Conduct Medal, Global War on Terrorism Medal and the Iraq Campaign Medal.
Federal officials say the Good shooting was self‑defense, a claim challenged by state officials based on video evidence. A spokesperson said the officer from the June incident sustained dozens of stitches and multiple abrasions on June 17 during an attempt to arrest a child sex offender, a narrative echoed by White House briefing remarks. A vice president later described the officer as having been dragged by a car.
Public reports indicate the June incident occurred in Minnesota, where Ross and several ICE colleagues confronted a driver, Roberto Carlos Muñoz. When Ross instructed Muñoz to roll down his window and unlock the door, Muñoz refused. ross reached into the vehicle and tried to unlock the door; Muñoz drove up on a curb and accelerated away, dragging Ross in the process. Ross then fired a Taser at Muñoz, striking him repeatedly, but Muñoz managed to drive for about 12 seconds before escaping the confrontation.
Court documents later showed Muñoz with injuries, including a right arm injury, in a hospital bed. A jury convicted Muñoz of assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon and he remains jailed as he awaits sentencing. It is unclear when the agent involved in the June event returned to work after the incident.
