MINNEAPOLIS — Cellphone video taken by the officer who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good shows the motorist and the woman believed to be her wife speaking to the agent moments before the fatal shooting.
NBC News has obtained the footage, which appears to have been recorded on a cellphone belonging to Jonathan Ross, the ICE officer who fatally shot Good, 37, in Minneapolis on Wednesday. Follow live coverage.
The video begins with Ross getting out of his car and approaching Good’s maroon Honda Pilot SUV from the passenger’s side. In the video, cars are heard honking, sirens are wailing, and people are blowing whistles.
The video shows a black dog in the rear passenger-side seat of the SUV looking at Ross through an open window as the ICE officer walks around the front of the car to face Good. She is wearing a knit hat and a flannel shirt with a red hoodie underneath and is seen smiling at Ross with her left arm hanging out the window.
“That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you,” Good said.
At the same time, Ross is approached by a woman who later identified herself as Good’s wife. She is seen coming behind the rear of the SUV and said: “Hey, show your face, Big Boy. Show your face.”
“That’s OK, we don’t change our plates every morning. Just so you know, it’ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later.”
“That’s fine. U.S. citizen.”
“Former f—–g veteran, disabled veteran.”
“You want to come at us? You want to come at us? I say go get yourself some lunch, Big Boy. Go ahead.”
At this point, Ross has moved to face the passenger side of the SUV again and is making his way around to the front. Two additional officers are seen approaching the SUV from the driver’s side. One officer tells Good, “Get out of the car. Get out of the f—–g car. Get out of the car.”
The woman who later identified herself as Good’s wife is seen turning to get into the front passenger seat, but the door does not open. Ross is then seen facing the front of the SUV, with the woman appearing to say “drive,” then something inaudible, and then “drive.” Good turns the steering wheel to her right away from the officer as she begins to drive.
Ross shouts what sounds like “whoa” and fires as multiple shots can be heard in the video. The view of his phone camera jerks around, points up to the sky, and captures a glimpse of his masked face. Ross’ phone levels out and captures the SUV accelerating down the street.
“f—–g bitch”
Aidan Perzana, 31, who witnessed the shooting, said he had just woken up and went to look out the window after hearing honking. It was clear to him,
