A 10-year veteran of ICE's enforcement division is at the center of a deadly shooting that left a Minneapolis mother dead. Jonathan David Ross, a Minneapolis resident and member of the special response team, has been identified as the agent involved in Renee Nicole Good's killing during an immigration sweep on Wednesday.
The FBI initially refused to identify Ross, sparking outrage among Minnesota officials and lawmakers, who have since threatened to withhold funding from the Department of Homeland Security. Thousands gathered outside the shooting site that night, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey calling for ICE to leave the city. Governor Tim Walz expressed concern about the lack of cooperation from federal authorities in investigating Good's death.
Court records confirm Ross's involvement in a similar incident last June, when he was part of an enforcement operation in Bloomington, Minnesota. In that case, Ross and another agent attempted to apprehend Roberto Carlos Muñoz, an undocumented immigrant with a prior conviction for sexually assaulting his stepdaughter. The pursuit led to Ross being dragged by Muñoz's vehicle for 100 yards before the driver finally stopped.
The details of both incidents have raised questions about ICE's tactics and the training received by its officers. Videos from Wednesday's shooting show Good trying to flee the scene as a federal agent attempted to force open her passenger door, which Ross fired four shots at before Good sped away and crashed into another vehicle.
Ross has not commented on the incident. His involvement in the June 2025 incident that led to Muñoz's arrest was revealed by court records and an FBI affidavit, which also included a photograph of Ross taken from behind during that event. Both Ross and the FBI agent involved in the pursuit have matching hairstyles seen in videos of Good's fatal shooting.
The case has sparked widespread outrage and calls for greater accountability from ICE's actions.
