An autopsy commissioned by the family of Renee Good, who was fatally shot by an immigration officer in Minneapolis this month, found that she suffered three clear gunshot wounds, including one to her head, lawyers for her family said Wednesday.
One of the injuries was to Good’s left forearm, the lawyers said in a statement, while another gunshot struck her right breast without piercing major organs. Neither of those wounds was immediately life-threatening, the attorneys said.
A third shot entered the left side of Good’s head near the temple and exited on the right side, according to the statement, and she also appeared to have sustained a graze wound.
The attorneys said the autopsy was conducted by a “highly respected” and credentialed independent medical pathologist.
“We believe the evidence we are gathering and will continue to gather in our investigation will suffice to prove our case,” lead attorney Antonio M. Romanucci said in the statement. “The video evidence depicting the events of January 7, 2026, is clear, particularly when viewed through the standards of reasonable policing and totality of circumstances.”
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet released its findings about Good’s death to her family or its legal team, according to the attorneys. A search of cases on the medical examiner’s office website Wednesday night did not yield any results for Good’s death.

Good, 37, was fatally shot in the driver’s seat of her SUV during an encounter with Jonathan Ross, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, in a residential part of Minneapolis on Jan. 7.
The shooting followed the deployment of thousands of immigration officers to the Twin Cities.
The encounter, which was captured on cellphone videos, showed Good’s partner — who was outside the SUV — calling Ross “big boy” and telling him to show his face. Other officers at the scene could be heard telling Good to get out of the car, and she could be seen turning the steering wheel away from Ross and beginning to drive.
Multiple gunshots could be heard before Good’s SUV crashed into a parked vehicle. On a video recorded by Ross, a male voice could be heard saying “f—–g bitch” moments before the crash.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem accused Good of being a “domestic terrorist” without providing evidence and said Ross acted in self-defense. He was treated at a hospital for injuries he sustained in the incident and was released soon after, Noem said shortly after the shooting. A DHS official later told NBC News that Ross sustained internal bleeding but did not elaborate on his injuries.
In an email Wednesday night, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin accused Good of refusing to comply with officers’ commands.
“If you impede law enforcement operations, ignore law commands, and use a deadly weapon to kill or cause bodily harm to a federal law enforcement office there are dangerous, and in this case deadly, consequences,” McLaughlin said. “This was entirely preventable.”
In an earlier statement, Good’s attorneys described her and her partner as “responsible community members who lived peacefully and did not engage in harmful conduct toward others, including the federal agents involved on January 7, 2026.”
Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, as well as other local officials, have criticized the federal immigration operations in the area. Walz and Frey, both Democrats, have also been at odds with federal authorities who have sought to justify Good’s shooting.
The FBI is investigating the shooting. State officials said they have been barred from participating in the probe.
