County Investigates, Federal Agencies Hold Key Evidence in Renee Good Shooting

Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a 37‑year‑old mother of three, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross on Jan. 7, 2026 in a Minneapolis residential neighborhood. U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche ruled there is no basis for a federal criminal investigation, leaving Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty to pursue possible charges. The county’s case is hampered by the federal government’s custody of Good’s SUV, Ross’s gun, shell casings, and the agent’s phone used as a body‑camera. Attorney Emmanuel Mauleón notes that without these items, proving a crime could be difficult, while the DOJ’s decision has sparked criticism from Good’s family and civil‑rights advocates.
