New York Times Analysis of Minneapolis ICE Shooting

New York Times Video Analysis

• 🔍 A new analysis from The New York Times syncs multiple videos to provide a detailed picture of the moments leading up to the ICE shooting of Renee Good.
• 💡 The analysis focuses on the position of Agent Ross in relation to Ms. Good's vehicle, examining frame-by-frame footage.

Agent's Position and Actions

• 🚗 The video shows Agent Ross moving from his SUV position in front of Ms. Good's moving vehicle, a maneuver law enforcement is typically instructed against due to danger.
• ⚠️ Ms. Good was in the process of completing a three-point turn, reversing and then turning right away from the agent.
• 🎯 While her tires briefly pointed towards the agent, the analysis indicates this was due to the turning motion, not an aim.

Debunking the "Run Over" Claim

• 🦶 The analysis uses multiple angles to show a visible gap between the vehicle and Agent Ross's legs, indicating his feet were outside the SUV's path.
• 🚶‍♂️ Footage shows Agent Ross remaining standing, not being knocked over, despite contact with the vehicle.
• 📱 The "jostling" and "thud" heard on the agent's cell phone video are attributed to his hand making impact with the car as he maintained his grip on his phone and gun, not him being hit.

The Shots Fired

• 💥 The agent fired three shots, with the second and third shots occurring as there was a clear and growing gap between him and the vehicle.
• 💨 The first shot appears potentially through the windshield, but the exact path of each bullet cannot be definitively established from the visuals.
• 🎯 The agent maintained his aim at Ms. Good throughout the incident, even after contact with the vehicle and while sliding slightly on the slippery road.
