In a shocking development in Renee Nicole Good' killing in Minneapolis on Wednesday, January 7, a new video has surfaced on social media that shows Renee stopping her SUV diagonally across a Minneapolis street, blocking the traffic for over three minutes during an ICE operation. In the footage, her horn can be heard repeatedly sounding as she moves side to side in the driver's seat, which some on social media have characterised as 'dancing'. The viral clip, captured from an elevated angle and later shared online, has now gone viral and has prompted widespread discussion about her actions and the events that followed, including her fatal shooting during the incident. Let's find out more.Following the incident, an X (formerly called Twitter) user shared a roughly 3.5-minute video that showed Renee Nicole Good's SUV that was parked diagonally across a Minneapolis street, blocking one lane of traffic.
"New footage shows Renee Good DANCING in her vehicle while blocking the road, waiting for ICE agents to pull up. She was literally thrilled to be impeding on what they were doing," the caption of the post read."In the footage, the woman appears to dance while sitting in her seat. As the footage continues, federal agents can be seen slowly moving toward the SUV while onlookers shout and whistle in the background. For most of the recording, no agents appear to be attempting to enter the vehicle," as per the New York Post.
The video cuts off suddenly at the moment when the gunfire is believed to have occurred, offering only a glimpse of the final moments before the fatal shooting. The video has fuelled heated discussions online, with critics condemning the obstruction of agents and others noting that the incident ended tragically, with 'no winners'.
As soon as the video surfaced on social media, it quickly went viral and sparked debate. One X user wrote, "She looks terrified."
While another asked, "Does not justify murder." "She knew what she was doing. They called her a warrior for crying out loud and actively tracked ICE activities.. don't show this video to the left though, because it destroys all the narratives."
"She died happy." "Apparently her wife now has a GoFundMe page up to 1.5 million in donations……WTF," another added.
"They think it's all a big game." "The coroner must test her blood for drugs. This is crazy behavior. Literally blocking a lane with your car with you in it… just waiting to be t-boned. That’s not a survivable position to put oneself in while dancing a jig."
"Did she think ICE didn’t have authority to arrest her?"
According to the federal officials, Renee Good used her vehicle as a weapon and posed a danger to an ICE agent, a justification they say warranted the use of deadly force when she was shot during the Minneapolis encounter.
In the wake of the incident, Vice President J.D. Vance publicly defended the ICE officer accused of firing the shots, asserting that Good violated the law and that the agent had legitimate reason to fear for his safety as the situation unfolded.
