Federal Government Turns Over Renee Good Shooting Records for Judge’s Review in Linked Case

Overview

• Attorney Eric Newmark confirmed Wednesday the government delivered the ordered materials tied to ICE officer Jonathan Ross’s shooting of Renee Good.
• The court-ordered trove includes Ross’s full personnel and training files, DHS and ICE use-of-force policies, witness and officer statements, phone data, medical tests, and body or vehicle camera footage spanning 30 minutes before and 60 minutes after the shooting.
• A magistrate judge will review the records in private and decide what, if anything, to disclose to Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala’s defense, which sought them to support sentencing mitigation or a possible new-trial bid.
• The contents are not public, and Minnesota officials and the Good family’s lawyers say they have sought the same materials for months, with the family calling the handoff encouraging yet questioning full compliance.
• The January 7 shooting in south Minneapolis left Good dead after an ICE operation, with ICE describing Ross’s gunfire as self-defense and witnesses and city leaders disputing that account.
