Summary

Every officer-involved shooting resulting in death, must be fully, fairly, and professionally investigated, whether by state law-enforcement authorities or federal law-enforcement authorities. Of course, that is NOT what's happening in connection with ICE officer Jonathan Ross's fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

The federal government is abdicating its responsibility to investigate the officer-involved shooting. But what's worse, the feds are also obstructing the State's ability to investigate the homicide by refusing to provide important evidence, like Ross's gun, the ballistics evidence, and Renee Good's car - which, in a very real sense, constitutes the crime scene.

There is a way for the state authorities to aggressively investigate the homicide of Renee Good, and use several legal vehicles to wrestle away from the federal government the evidence that is necessary to conduct a full investigation.

Dave Aaronberg and Glenn Kirschner co-authored a piece discussing the legal tools available to Minnesota prosecutors to move forward in the investigation of the killings in Minnesota. That piece is titled, "A Blueprint for State Justice in the Wake of Federal Obstruction."
