Weeks after a deadly federal operation shook a Minneapolis neighborhood, new details have again drawn national attention. Authorities have now confirmed the identity of the ICE officer involved in the January incident that resulted in the death of Renee Nicole Good. Court records name the officer as Jonathan E. Ross, a longtime agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
His name was initially withheld, but later surfaced through verified documents, renewing calls for transparency and accountability. Ross has reportedly served with ICE for about a decade, primarily in Enforcement and Removal Operations. Public records also show he was injured during a separate law-enforcement incident in Minnesota in June 2025, an event that later led to a federal conviction for another individual.
Residents, however, described confusion and fear, as video later circulated online and intensified concern. Community leaders urged calm while calling for independent review and clearer answers. Renee Nicole Good is remembered as compassionate and creative—a writer, poet, and musician devoted to her community and young child. Vigils soon filled the area with candles and flowers. As investigations continue, many residents say their focus remains honoring her life and seeking clarity about what happened.
