A brief cellphone recording, filmed on a snow-dusted residential street in Minneapolis, captures a tense confrontation that unfolded in less than a minute but ended in irreversible consequences.
The footage, first obtained and published by a news outlet, is shot from the perspective of a federal agent and documents a fast-moving exchange involving a maroon Honda Pilot, multiple bystanders, and escalating commands.
The video lasts roughly 47 seconds, yet it offers one of the clearest visual records to emerge so far from a fatal encounter connected to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation.
Footage Begins
The clip opens with the camera fixed on the SUV parked along the curb of a quiet neighborhood lined with older homes, bare trees, and patches of snow. Other vehicles sit scattered along the street, while the agent filming slowly approaches the car, focusing on its windshield and hood.
A dog can be seen looking out the window from inside the car. Inside the driver’s seat, a woman, now identified by authorities and family members as Renee Good, becomes visible. She wears a dark-colored hat and a red cloth underneath a light-colored jacket. At first, she looks directly toward the agent and smiles as she gestures with her hands.
A Tense Back-and-Forth
At that moment, Good is heard speaking calmly but pointedly to the agent, “That’s fine, dude, I’m not mad at you.” As the agent moves toward the back of the SUV, she continues, adding, “Big boy, show your face.”
The agent continues filming, zooming in on the rear of the Honda Pilot. The camera lingers on the taillights, the “Pilot” badge, and a Minnesota license plate. Several bumper stickers, some appearing to reference outdoor or park themes, are visible in the close-up shots.
Another woman, who appears behind the vehicle and seems to be recording on her own phone, joins in. In a sarcastic tone, she says, “That’s okay, we don’t change our plates every morning, just so you know it’ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later, that’s fine.
As the agent walked away from the vehicle, the same woman recording added, “You want to come at us? I said go get yourself some lunch, big boy.“
Sudden Shift in the Encounter
Moments later, the camera pans up the street, briefly capturing a wider scene: several people in winter coats farther away, and a dark gray sedan at an angle farther up the road. From that direction, another agent can be heard shouting, “Get out of the car. Get out of the [expletive] car.”
The view abruptly returns to the maroon SUV. As the confrontation intensifies, the woman recording outside approaches the driver’s door. Almost immediately afterward, the SUV begins to move. A loud crashing sound follows, then two gunshots ring out.
The footage ends with quick, disjointed images of the vehicle’s side and front, minor scuff marks on the bumper, and the now-emptier stretch of street ahead. No further dialogue is captured, only ambient noise and distant movement.
Family Statement Emerges
In the days following the shooting, Good’s wife, Becca Good, released her first public statement, offering insight into who the deceased was beyond the final moments captured on video. In remarks shared with MPR News, Good’s wife described her as a 37-year-old poet and mother of three whose presence radiated warmth…
