ICE Agent's 'Dragging' Case May Help Expose Evidence in Renee Good Shooting

Defense attorneys seek access to investigative files related to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, after learning the same ICE agent was involved.

Published on Feb. 6, 2026

Defense attorneys for a Minnesota man convicted of assaulting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer are seeking access to investigative files related to the killing of Renee Nicole Good, after learning the same officer shot and killed her during a targeted operation in Minneapolis last month. The attorneys argue that the new evidence could help their client's case and provide insight into the officer's conduct and tactics.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing tensions and questions surrounding the use of force by law enforcement, particularly in cases involving immigration enforcement. The defense's request for access to investigative files could potentially expose evidence that may shed light on the circumstances surrounding the shooting of Renee Nicole Good and the broader issues of accountability and transparency in such incidents.

The details

Defense attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, who was convicted in December of assaulting ICE officer Jonathan Ross, are seeking access to Ross's training records and investigative files related to the killing of Renee Nicole Good. Muñoz-Guatemala's attorneys argue that the new evidence could help their client's case, as well as provide insight into whether Ross has a history of behaving recklessly or contrary to his training. The defense claims that if Muñoz-Guatemala had been tried after Good's killing, his defense may have asserted that he was justified in resisting Ross, who they claim was the aggressor and used excessive force.

  • In June 2025, ICE agent Jonathan Ross was injured in an incident where Muñoz-Guatemala dragged him with his car.
  • On December 10, a jury convicted Muñoz-Guatemala of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous weapon and causing bodily injury.
  • On January 7, 2026, Ross shot and killed Renee Nicole Good during a targeted operation in Minneapolis.
