In the case of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, the 37-year-old woman fatally shot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026, the 911 call transcripts have become a central piece of evidence.
Below are the key details revealed from over 60 pages of 911 call logs recently released:
1. Eyewitness Accounts
Several witnesses called in a state of panic and anger, providing accounts that often contradicted the official federal narrative:
Description of the Shooting: One caller reported: “There are about 15 ICE agents and they shot her just because she wouldn’t open her car door.”
Refuting the “Self-Defense” Claim: Another witness stated: “I saw an ICE agent fire two shots through the windshield at the driver. She tried to drive away but crashed into a nearby parked car.”
Victim’s Condition: Callers described Renee being shot at close range and lying motionless in the vehicle with heavy bleeding from her face and chest.
2. Calls from Federal Authorities
Notably, there was a call from an individual identifying as a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) representative at the scene:
The caller reported: “We have officers trapped in vehicles and agitators at the scene. Shots have been fired by our local enforcement.”
When the 911 operator asked for a description of the shooter, the DHS caller replied that they did not have that information and were simply requesting emergency backup.
3. Timeline and Medical Reports
9:38 AM: The first 911 call was placed immediately after the shots were fired.
9:42 AM: Emergency medical teams arrived. Renee was found not breathing, with a weak and irregular pulse.
Injuries: Medical reports noted she was struck by four bullets: two in the right chest, one in the left forearm, and one in the left side of her head.
10:30 AM: Resuscitation efforts were ceased at the hospital, and she was pronounced dead.
Context of the Controversy
The case has sparked nationwide outrage because Renee Good was a U.S. citizen acting as a “legal observer” to monitor ICE raids. While DHS claims Agent Jonathan Ross fired in self-defense because Renee attempted to ram them with her car, witness videos and 911 logs suggest she may have been trying to drive away as agents swarmed her vehicle and attempted to force the doors open.
