An incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department and newly obtained 911 transcripts outline the moments after Renee Good, 37, was shot on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis. According to the report, emergency responders found Good "unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity" minutes after the shooting.
A caller captured on the emergency-transcript recordings told dispatchers:
“I saw an ICE officer fire two shots through her windshield into the driver.”
The same caller said Good attempted to drive away, crashed into a parked vehicle and was later found with visible blood on her face and torso. The fire-department report describes two apparent gunshot wounds to her right chest, one apparent wound to her left forearm and a possible wound on the left side of her head. Rescuers reported finding no pulse and performed chest compressions and other resuscitation measures before transporting her to a hospital, where she later died.
911 Calls and Bystander Accounts
Transcripts include multiple 911 calls from witnesses and on-scene federal personnel. One caller said he was relaying information on behalf of federal Homeland Security officers and asked for immediate local-law-enforcement and medical response, saying officers were trapped and that shots had been fired.

“We had officers stuck in a vehicle and we had agitators on scene. And we have shots fired by our locals,”
Other callers described the scene emphatically: “She’s f**kin’ dead. They f**kin’ shot her,” one caller told a dispatcher, saying roughly 15 ICE agents were present and alleging they opened fire because Good would not open her car door.
Bystander Video and Medical Aid
Bystander video shows a tense moment while Good remained inside her Honda Pilot as someone asked ICE officers for permission to check her pulse. The exchange captured on video shows an officer repeatedly ordering bystanders to back up while a man identifying himself as a physician said, “Can I go check a pulse?” The officer refused.
After an initial assessment, rescuers moved Good down the block to provide better ambulance access and separate medical personnel from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders, the incident report states.
Public Reaction and Official Statements
The shooting prompted days of protests in Minneapolis and beyond. Federal and national figures, including former President Donald Trump and South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, publicly characterized the incident in strong terms; some officials asserted that Good attempted to use her vehicle to harm ICE agents. Those claims and the full circumstances surrounding the shooting are the subject of ongoing scrutiny and investigation.
This account is based on the Minneapolis Fire Department incident report and 911 transcripts obtained by CNN; investigators and officials continue to review evidence and statements related to the case.
