An autopsy commissioned by the family of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an immigration officer in Minneapolis this month, found that she suffered three clear gunshot wounds, including one to her head, lawyers for her family said Wednesday.
One of the injuries was to Good’s left forearm, the lawyers said in a statement, while another gunshot struck her right breast without piercing major organs. Neither of those wounds was immediately life-threatening, the attorneys said.
A third shot entered the left side of Good’s head near the temple and exited on the right side, according to the statement, and she also appeared to have sustained a graze wound.
The attorneys said the autopsy was conducted by a “highly respected” and credentialed independent medical pathologist.
“We believe the evidence we are gathering and will continue to gather in our investigation will suffice to prove our case,” lead attorney Antonio M. Romanucci said in the statement. “The video evidence depicting the events of January 7, 2026, is clear, particularly when viewed through the standards of reasonable policing and totality of circumstances.”
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet released its findings about Good’s death to her family or its legal team, according to the attorneys. A search of cases on the medical examiner’s office website Wednesday night did not yield any results for Good’s death.
Good, 37, was fatally shot in the driver’s seat of her SUV during an encounter with Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, in a residential part of Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
The shooting followed the deployment of thousands of immigration officers to the Twin Cities.
