According to released video and reports, three ICE officers approached Good’s Honda Pilot SUV on a snowy residential street. Bystander video and footage from an ICE agent's phone show an officer approaching the vehicle while Good is in the driver's seat. She speaks calmly through the open window just before the encounter escalates.
The footage shows another officer circling the vehicle, filming with a phone, and then engaging with Good and her wife, Becca Good, who was also at the scene. Becca is seen outside the car speaking with the officer before the shooting.
Moments later, another agent is heard ordering Renee Good to "get out of the car." Good briefly reverses and then appears to put the vehicle in forward gear and turn the wheel. At that point, gunshots ring out as the vehicle moves, and it subsequently crashes into a parked car a short distance away. The video does not show the actual moment of the shooting.
