The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on a Minneapolis street served in a multitude of law enforcement roles during a two-decade career that also included military service.
Federal court records show Jonathan Ross’ career includes US military experience and mostly high-level federal law enforcement positions.
The details of his tenure are revealed in a federal criminal case against a driver who seriously injured Ross after dragging him 100 metres (yards) during an immigration operation several months before the January 7 shooting.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reviewed transcripts from the trial of that driver, later convicted of dragging Ross during an arrest in Bloomington. They share some of Ross’ background and shed more light into the traffic stop in June.
The shooting of Good, 37, was caught on video from multiple angles, including Ross’ perspective, and has drawn widespread protests in the Twin Cities and across the country. Federal officials have quickly pointed to the June 17 encounter to in part defend Ross’ actions in the shooting of Good.
US Vice-President J.D. Vance referenced the case during a news conference at the White House.
