The family of Renee Good, a Minneapolis woman shot by an ICE agent, has retained Antonio Romanucci of Romanucci & Blandin – the firm that secured a $27 million settlement for George Floyd’s family – to investigate the circumstances surrounding her death. The shooting occurred on January 7th, and the family’s legal action comes amid ongoing protests and calls for transparency regarding ICE operations. ICE claims the agent, Jonathan Ross, acted in self-defense, alleging Good attempted to ram him with her vehicle, while the family and witnesses state she was following instructions. Concerns have been raised regarding missing body camera footage and delays in providing medical assistance. Romanucci, experienced in police misconduct cases, described the shooting as “wrong” and contrary to established procedures, vowing to counter what he calls official opacity. The family has asked that Good’s death not be used as a political tool, emphasizing her legacy of love and unity. The FBI is conducting a criminal investigation, while Romanucci’s firm prepares to navigate the complexities of the Federal Tort Claims Act, seeking accountability and answers regarding the operation, the agent’s actions, and the post-shooting response.
