But looking more closely, we can see in multiple angles
President Trump and members of his administration have said that Renee Good, the woman killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, “weaponized her vehicle” against the agent who shot her — an interpretation they claim is confirmed by the agent’s cellphone video.
“She didn’t try to run him over,” Mr. Trump said on the day of the shooting. “She ran him over.”
That description has been contested by local and state officials, who have blamed the federal government for the tension, saying aggressive tactics that violate police protocol had stirred unrest. Demonstrators have taken to the streets nationwide to protest the killing of Ms. Good, a U.S. citizen. The administration has responded by sending 1,000 additional agents to Minnesota.
In a video analysis, The Times focuses on some of the key contested moments of the agent’s cellphone video alongside other footage. More videos are likely to emerge, but the visual evidence shows no indication that the agent who fired the shots, Jonathan Ross, had been run over. The footage provides visibility into the positioning between the agent and Ms. Good’s S.U.V., and the key moments of escalation. It also establishes how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place.
Unrest in Minnesota
-
Renee Good: She was concerned about the actions of immigration agents in Minneapolis, a lawyer for her family said, but Good and her partner “weren’t following anybody around” on the morning that she was fatally shot by one of those agents.
-
Emergency Call Transcripts: The killing of Good by an ICE agent was instantly reported to the Minneapolis Police. Records of police and emergency operators released contain fragmentary, confused and profane reports from the scene in south Minneapolis and the efforts of the city police to contend with a crisis not of their making.
-
Accusations Against ICE: A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas and stun grenades around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest.
-
Prosecutors Quit: Six Minnesota federal prosecutors resigned over the Justice Department’s push to investigate the widow of a woman killed by an ICE agent and its reluctance to investigate the shooter, according to people with knowledge of their decision.
-
States Sue: State and city officials in Minnesota and Illinois filed lawsuits against the Trump administration over the deployment of ICE to the Minneapolis and Chicago areas.

Two Different Views of Minnesota: In bars, cafes and coffee shops across rural Minnesota, Good’s death has become a mirror, reflecting back a fracture that had been deepening for years — not just in their state, but across the country, wherever rural areas chafe against the political power of big cities.
