A video filmed by the US immigration agent who fatally shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday has emerged, showing the moments before gunfire rang out.<\/p>\n
The 47-second footage, obtained by Minnesota-based outlet Alpha News, shows Renee Nicole Good sitting behind the wheel of her car and speaking to the officer. <\/p>\n
US Vice-President JD Vance shared the clip on social media, commenting that the agent had acted in self-defence. Local officials have insisted the woman posed no danger.<\/p>\n
Good’s wife has paid tribute to the 37-year-old, saying the pair were trying to support their neighbours when she was shot. Her death has sparked protests across the US. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The Trump administration says Good was blocking the road and impeding the work of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.<\/p>\n
The BBC has asked the homeland security department and the White House for comment on the new video that emerged on Friday.<\/p>\n
The footage starts with the officer getting out of his car and filming Good’s vehicle while he walks around it. A dog is in the backseat. <\/p>\n
Good says: “That’s fine dude. I’m not mad at you.”<\/p>\n
A second woman, thought to be her wife, is standing on the street filming the interaction with her mobile phone. She appears to tell the ICE agent: “We don’t change our plates every morning… just so you know, it will be the same plate when you come talk to us later.”<\/p>\n
She adds: “Do you want to come at us? I say go and get yourself some lunch, big boy.”<\/p>\n
Another agent approaches Good on the driver’s side and uses an expletive as he says: “Get out of the car.” <\/p>\n
The agent filming the clip moves in front of Good’s car as she reverses.<\/p>\n
In a chaotic couple of seconds, she turns the wheel to the right and pulls forwards.<\/p>\n
The camera jerks up to the sky. “Woah, woah!” a voice says, as bangs are heard.<\/p>\n
In the final part of the video the car is seen veering down the road. The ICE agent swears.<\/p>\n
Other videos released previously from the scene show the maroon SUV crashed into the side of the road. <\/p>\n
The FBI is investigating the incident.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
On Friday, Vice-President Vance reposted the video on X, and defended the agent’s actions, saying: “The reality is that his life was endangered and he fired in self-defence.”<\/p>\n
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt also reposted the video, saying the media had smeared an ICE agent who had “properly defended himself from being run over”. <\/p>\n
Good’s wife, Becca Good, told local media the pair had gone to the scene of immigration enforcement activity to support neighbours. <\/p>\n
“We had whistles,” she said. “They had guns.”<\/p>\n
When speaking about Good she said “kindness radiated out of her”.<\/p>\n
“We were raising our son to believe that no matter where you come from or what you look like, all of us deserve compassion and kindness,” she added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
