Lawyers for the family of Renee Good, the unarmed woman fatally shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross two weeks ago in Minneapolis, released the results of a private autopsy on Wednesday evening that showed she died of a gunshot wound to the head.

Four bullets in total struck Good, the autopsy revealed.

The fatal shot entered Good’s head near her left temple and exited through the right side, consistent with Ross shooting Good from the left side of her vehicle at point-blank range. A second shot pierced Good’s left forearm, and a third hit her right breast but didn’t enter her torso.

A fourth gunshot grazed her body in an unidentified location.

The lawyers declined to release the full report, but said they would continue “to gather evidence” in connection with the shooting as it pursued what it said was a civil investigation, The New York Times reported.

“We believe the evidence we are gathering and will continue to gather in our investigation will suffice to prove our case,” lead attorney Antonio M. Romanucci said in a statement. “The video evidence depicting the events of January 7, 2026, is clear, particularly when viewed through the standards of reasonable policing and totality of circumstances.”

The private report precedes the results from the Hennepin County medical examiner’s office autopsy of Good’s body.

The FBI is investigating the shooting, while state officials say they’ve been barred from participating in the probe. Six federal prosecutors resigned in protest over the decision.

Good leaves behind her wife, Becca Good, and three children.

The private autopsy results add to the information reported by first responders attending Good at the scene, and 911 calls in the aftermath of the fatal shooting.

911 transcripts reveal the first call came in at 9:38 a.m., about one minute after the shots were fired, the Guardian reported.

One caller told dispatch there were “a bunch of ICE agents on 33rd and Portland, they just shot a lady point-blank range in her car.”

When asked if the woman had been shot, the caller responded: “She’s f*ckin’ dead. They f*ckin’ shot her.”

Incident reports show paramedics arrived at the chaotic scene approximately four minutes later and found Good “unresponsive” in the driver’s seat of her car “with blood on her face and torso.”

Paramedics removed Good from her vehicle and described her as “unresponsive, not breathing, with inconsistent, irregular, thready pulse activity.”

The responders identified two “apparent gunshot wounds” to the right side of her chest, another apparent gunshot wound “to the patient’s left forearm,” and a “possible gunshot wound with protruding tissue on the left side of the patient’s head,” the report details.

They also noted she had “dilated pupils” and blood “discharging” from her left ear.

Paramedics moved Good down the block “for a more workable scene, better access for ambulances, and separation from an escalating scene involving law enforcement and bystanders.”

Responders began performing chest compressions and applied a tourniquet to Good’s left arm before transporting her to a nearby hospital while continuing CPR.

At the hospital, staff “assumed airway and ventilation responsibilities.” The report concludes, “Resuscitative efforts were discontinued at approximately 10:30 am.”

Responding to the release of the private autopsy report on Wednesday evening, Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin continued to deny any culpability in Good’s death for the ICE officer who shot her. 

“If you impede law enforcement operations, ignore law commands, and use a deadly weapon to kill or cause bodily harm to a federal law enforcement officer there are dangerous, and in this case deadly, consequences,” McLaughlin said. “This was entirely preventable.”
