Summary

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Good on Wednesday in Minneapolis is Jonathan Ross, according to court documents and accounts from federal officials.

Ross shot into Good’s car while she was driving away from the site of an ICE operation near Portland Avenue and East 34th Street. U.S. government officials have labeled Good as a “domestic terrorist” who attempted to strike and kill ICE officers.

During Thursday’s White House press briefing, Vice President JD Vance said Ross “might have been a little nervous” because of an incident last summer in which he was dragged by a vehicle and needed upwards of 30 stitches.

Vance’s description of Ross’ injuries matches with an encounter that took place in Bloomington on June 17.

Court documents detail the injuries an ICE agent suffered in the course of attempting to stop Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, who prosecutors say was in the country without legal immigration status and had a previous conviction of fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct.

An exhibit list describes photos of the injuries as belonging to “Officer Ross.” A jury trial notice lists “Jonathan Ross” as the federal government’s first witness who testified in that trial.

During the stop, Ross ordered Muñoz-Guatemala to get out of the car or he would break the window, a criminal complaint states. When Muñoz-Guatemala didn’t comply, Ross broke the rear driver’s side window and attempted to reach in and unlock the front driver’s side door. Muñoz-Guatemala put the car in drive while Ross’ arm was in the broken window, and he was dragged “approximately 100 yards” down the street.

According to court documents, one cut to Ross’ right arm required 20 stitches; he received 13 more stitches for a gash on his left hand; and he suffered scrapes to his knee, elbows and face. A case brief filed five months after the initial indictment stated he needed 50 or more stitches for treatment.

Last month, a jury convicted Muñoz-Guatemala of one count of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon. He has yet to be sentenced

One law enforcement official confirmed to ABC News that Ross has 10 years of experience and is a Minneapolis-based member of ICE’s special response team, which is deployed for high-profile and tactical situations.

“He’s an experienced officer that has served a number of years, and we recognize he acted according to his training, and we expect that all of the policies and procedures of review will be exactly that he acted appropriately to protect his life and the life of his colleagues and fellow law enforcement officers that were there,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said of Ross during a news conference held Thursday morning in New York.

Noem and DHS officials say the officer was taken to the hospital because he was hit by Good’s vehicle. However, bystander video of the shooting does not appear to show any serious contact, and the shooter was up and walking the entire time.
