Renee Good was shot in the left forearm, right breast and left side of her head during an encounter with ICE training officer Jonathan Ross earlier this month in Minneapolis, an autopsy commissioned by her family has revealed.
The information was released by the family's lawyers at Romanucci & Blandin, according to the New York Times, as the family awaits the results of an autopsy being conducted by Minnesota's Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office. Last week, the Minneapolis Fire and Police departments found she had been shot four times.
The results reveal the forearm and chest gunshots were not immediately life-threatening, while the third shot to her head is what ended her life. The autopsy reportedly says the fatal shot entered near her left temple and exited the right side of her head. A fourth graze wound that did not penetrate her body was also reported.
The lawyers at Romanucci & Blandin say the independent autopsy report was performed by a “highly respected" and credentialed independent medical pathologist, but that person's name was not released. The Chicago-based law firm was previously hired by the family of George Floyd, winning them a $27-million civil settlement with the City of Minneapolis.
As you know, Good was fatally shot while driving her Honda Pilot during a chaotic incident when ICE agents surrounded her vehicle in traffic on a residential Minneapolis street on January 7. Ross, an ICE training officer, fired the fatal shots. He has not been accused of a crime, and the Trump administration has said he shot her in an act of self-defense. Unnamed administration officials claim he was treated for internal bleeding at a hospital.
