The ICE agent who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good has been identified as Jonathan 'Jon' Ross.
Ross is an 'experienced' officer who last year suffered gruesome injuries as he tried to arrest an illegal immigrant sex offender.
'He's the same ICE agent who got dragged by car 50 feet back in June, so he has a history,' an FBI agent who spoke to the Daily Mail on condition of anonymity confirmed.
Good, 37, was shot and killed on Wednesday afternoon while she was driving her SUV down a street where ICE agents were on duty.
Multiple videos show the agent, identified as Ross, opening fire on Good and hitting her in the face while she was behind the wheel.
The Trump administration says Good was a 'professional agitator' who had been stalking federal agents.
But Democratic officials in Minneapolis have said her shooting was murder.
Good and her wife Rebecca are understood to have fled the US after Donald Trump's victory in the 2024 election, going briefly to Canada before settling in Minneapolis.
State and local officials demanded ICE leave Minnesota after Good's death. But Homeland Security (DHS) boss Kristi Noem has said agents are not going anywhere.

The previous incident in which Officer Ross was dragged by a car took place in Bloomington, Minnesota and the officer suffered a serious injury to his right arm which required 20 stitches.
The FBI source told the Daily Mail that most ICE agents do not have several cases of excessive use of force in their personnel files.
The official shared how typically that previous incident would be used to establish agent's state of mind during Wednesday's shooting.
'State of mind, that's part of a good investigation. You establish what their state of mind was. If they get nervous around cars,' the source added.
The FBI agent noted that he does not believe Ross was justified in his shooting of Good.
'Shot one, sort of can be argued, but shots two and three - they cannot be argued.'
Current and former DHS officials were also quick to slam Noem for inadvertently doxing the ICE officer involved in Wednesday's fatal shooting when she revealed he'd previously been rammed by a car and dragged by an anti-ICE rioter in June.
The information led media and social media users to simply look up recent cases and find the court filing that identified the officer by name.

'We keep arguing we have ICE officers wear face masks and that their identity needs to be protected because of concerns about doxing and personal attacks, and yet she's more than willing to go out and identify this officer by sharing what happened to him last June,' one official told the Daily Mail.
'Clearly there's only a handful of officers who this has happened to in the last year. People can do the research, which they did.'
Another former senior official described Noem's revelation as 'dangerous'.
'Everything's like a reality TV show for her,' the official told the Daily Mail. 'It's dangerous because now this is going to place this officer and his family at risk, with all these crazies out there.
'It's a big deal and I attribute it to her lack of experience,' the source added. 'Unfortunately, it's the officer and his family who will pay for it.'
In December, a jury at the US District Court in St. Paul found the driver in the June incident, Roberto Carlos Munoz-Guatemala, 40, guilty of assault on a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon and causing bodily injury.
The officer and others had stopped him at 8am on June 17 and were attempting to detain him on an immigration order, the court heard.
They requested that he open his window and door, but he only put the window partially down and refused further orders, the court heard.
The ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations officer broke the rear window and unlocked the door.

Munoz then drove off and mounted the car with the officer's arm trapped inside.
He was dragged at least 100 yards, causing a serious injury to his arm.
Photographs submitted to the court showed a long, deep jagged cut on the arm which requited 20 stitches.
He also needed 13 stitches in his left hand, the court records said.
In a statement at the time the Department of Justice said: 'On June 17, 2025, law enforcement officers attempted to arrest Munoz, a convicted sex offender, on an immigration order.
'Agents made a traffic stop of Munoz-Guatemala, the defendant was uncooperative and refused to follow directions. After warning Munoz-Guatemala several times, an agent broke the back window so that he could open the vehicle from the inside.'
The statement went on: 'Munoz-Guatemala then accelerated his car. As he sped away, the agent's arm became trapped between the seat and the car frame.
'Munoz-Guatemala dragged the federal agent for more than 100 yards, while weaving back and forth in an attempt to shake the agent from the car.
'The agent was eventually jarred free from the car but suffered significant injuries to his arms and hand.'
Munoz is illegally in the United States and is from Mexico, the DOJ said.
In December 2022 he had been convicted in Hennepin County, Minnesota of repeatedly sexually abusing a minor.

Minneapolis has remained on edge since Good's death, with protesters gathered outside the city's immigration court on Thursday for further demonstrations.
Activists were seen carrying signs and chanting, including some signs that say, 'ICE Out Now,' 'We deserve to be safe in our community,' and 'Resist Fascism.'
Chants included 'We Keep Us Safe,' 'ICE Out Now,' 'ICE Go Home,' 'Quit Your Job' and 'Justice Now!'
Schools have cancelled classes and activities as a safety precaution as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has issued calls for people to remain calm.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has deployed more than 2,000 officers to the area in what it says is its largest immigration enforcement operation ever.
Noem said more than 1,500 people have been arrested.
Witnesses claimed Good, a mother of three, and her wife Rebecca were acting as legal observers and filming the protest when she was shot on Wednesday.
But her mother Donna Ganger has denied reports that Good would have been 'part of anything like' the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.

'She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.'
The distraught mother added that her daughter 'was probably terrified'.
Rebecca Good, 40, was filmed screaming as her spouse died after being shot three times in the face for ignoring ICE agents' demands to get out of her car.
Good reversed the Honda Pilot instead and drove off, prompting Rebecca to scream that the horror was her fault as she'd brought Renee to the anti-ICE protest.
Rebecca, in harrowing video captured at the scene, admitted that she encouraged Good to confront agents. 'I made her come down here, it's my fault,' she cried.

Good is a registered voter but her party affiliation is not listed in public records. No records about Rebecca's voting history were publicly available.
Good was previously married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin, who died in May 2023. It is unclear exactly when Good and Macklin's relationship ended.
She filed a name changed petition at the Jackson County Courthouse in Missouri roughly five months after Macklin's death, according to court records obtained by WDAF. She stated that her reason for tacking Good on to her last name was to 'share a name with my partner.'
The filing also noted how Good was a mother to three children under the age of 18.
Good and Macklin had one child together, a six-year-old son, who is now orphaned.
