A forensics expert says a video of a 'fraught confrontation' between an immigration officer and a female driver and her wife which led to the driver's death shows us for the first time 'how antagonistic' they were to him.

Jonathan Baran, a visual forensics reporter, also says the newly emerged video filmed by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Officer, now named as Jon Ross, which he confirmed as authentic, reveals where the officer was standing immediately before the shooting for the first time.

Mr Baran, who works for the Washington Post in San Francisco, says Mr Ross was standing in front of Renee Good's car filming her at the wheel of the Honda Pilot SUV while her wife Rebecca was outside the car filming the incident urging her to 'drive, baby, drive'.

He confirmed that the video also shows the officer being 'taunted' and 'trolled' by the women as he asked Renee Good, who had blocked the road with her car in apparent protest at a nearby immigration raid, while he 'remarkably' remains silent.

And Mr Baran said that the footage shows Mr Ross could see Ms Good turning the wheel and starting to drive seconds before shots were fired but the camera 'swings up' into the air when the gun is fired missing 'crucial moments'.

Mr Ross controversially shot and killed Ms Good during the incident last Wednesday in Minneapolis after she refused officers' requests to get out of her car, leading to further clashes with protesters there and elsewhere.

Tensions have escalated around the country since the shooting but Mr Ross's supporters including Donald Trump and JD Vance say that he acted in self-defence as she drove towards him.

But despite the confrontation where Mr Ross is heckled by the pair, Mr Baran says the video makes it impossible to 'exonerate or vindicate anyone completely in their actions'.

People attend a demonstration against increased immigration enforcement, days after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, outside the Canopy by Hilton hotel that demonstrators believe is being used by federal agents, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S., January 9, 2026

'The new video shows us a video taken from the agent's perspective and it shows us an interaction with Renee Good and Rebecca Good as Renee is in the driver's seat,' he told the BBC today.

'The officer is filming as he walks around the vehicle. It also gives us a position of the officer which we didn't have before in the other perspectives and videos and it shows some action that Renee Good is taking: she is turning the driver's wheel and she is visible to Ross, the ICE agent, while he is standing and filming in front of the vehicle.'
