Minneapolis ICE shooting updates: Protests remain peaceful despite arrests: Officials
The mayor praised demonstrators for keeping things civil.
Tensions are flaring in Minneapolis after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a 37-year-old woman on Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security has alleged that the victim, Renee Good, was attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her Wednesday morning -- a claim that local officials have disputed.
Key Headlines
Newly obtained cellphone video shows moments before deadly shooting
ABC News has obtained a cellphone video showing the moments leading up to the shooting of Renee Good in her vehicle and through the shots being fired from a different vantage point.
The 37-second video, one of several circulating of the incident, is believed to be taken by the ICE agent who fired the shots.
In the video, Good can be heard saying, "That's fine, dude, I'm not mad at you," as the ICE agent walks around filming her vehicle in the road. A dog can be seen in the backseat.
Another ICE agent approaches her door and can be heard saying, "Get out of the car. Get out of the f------ car."
Good is seen reversing the car and then turning the steering wheel right, as someone can be heard yelling out, "Drive!"
As Good drives forward, the officer filming can be heard yelling out 'Oh!" as several shots are fired.
'F------ bitch," someone says as the car is seen driving off and crashing down the block.
County attorney says ICE officer 'does not have complete immunity here'
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty reiterated during Friday's press briefing that her office, which covers Minneapolis, has the jurisdiction to make any charging decision in Wednesday's deadly ICE shooting.
"I can say that the ICE officer does not have complete immunity here," she said at the end of the briefing when asked about the immunity of ICE agents.
The comment comes a day after Vice President JD Vance claimed the ICE officer involved in the shooting is "protected by absolute immunity."
"The unprecedented thing is the idea that a local official can actually prosecute a federal official with absolute immunity. I've never seen anything like that," he said during a White House briefing on Thursday.
Local attorneys ask public to submit evidence for shooting probe
Local attorneys are asking the public to submit any evidence they have in connection with Wednesday's deadly shooting, after they say they've been shut out of the FBI's investigation into the incident.
"We are concerned that the evidence obtained in an investigation that has only been conducted at the federal level will not be shared with our office for review," Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, whose office covers Minneapolis, said during a press briefing on Friday.
Moriarty said the FBI currently has such evidence as shooting victim Renee Good's car, in which Good was shot, and that state investigators do not have access to it. She said their access to federal officers is "really none."
Moriarty said her office has "no preconceived opinion" on a charging decision but that it will be unable to make any determination without a thorough investigation. So they are moving forward in collaboration with the state's attorney general's office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension "to preserve any evidence and ensure that it can be reviewed," she said.
The county has created a website where people can submit evidence, such as video or information.
"The current posture is that the investigation is one that the feds want to do with without state involvement, and so we still know that there's evidence out there. We want to make sure it gets gathered and collected, and we'll deal with those other matters of joint versus exclusive later," Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said at the press briefing.
"There is no conclusion that anyone can reach in good faith at this time, because there's too much evidence still to be evaluated," he said.
Renee Good's wife speaks out
Renee Good’s wife, Becca Good, is speaking out in a statement to MPR News, saying Renee “lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow.”
“Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole,” Becca Good told MPR.
Renee Good leaves behind three children, including a 6-year-old son.
“I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him,” she wrote.
