ICE Agent’s Cellphone Video Shows the Minutes Before Renee Good Was Killed

HeadlineJan 12, 2026

More video footage has emerged depicting the minutes before Renee Good was fatally shot. In what appears to be cellphone footage recorded by an ICE agent, Good is seen sitting in her car as the agent circles around her vehicle in the middle of the road. Good tells the agent, “That’s fine, I’m not mad at you,” right before she was killed. Good’s wife is also seen recording the encounter on her cellphone. One agent is heard saying, “Fucking bitch.”

Renee Good’s wife, Becca Good, released her first statement following the fatal shooting. She described her partner as kind, saying, “Renee was a Christian who knew that all religions teach the same essential truth: we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole.” About their encounter with ICE agents, she said, “We had whistles. They had guns.”

At the Golden Globes, several attendees wore pins with the messages “Be Good” and ”ICE Out.” We’ll have more on this story later in the broadcast.
