Renee Good’s Killing Reveals Why Fact-Based Journalism Loses the Narrative Battle
In the aftermath of the killing of Renee Good, the lines hardened almost instantly. Two camps emerged, each fully convinced the available footage proved its case.
One side saw a clear vehicular attack that justified lethal force. The other saw an unjustified killing followed by an official lie. Each accused the other of gaslighting. Each insisted the facts were obvious.
Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis on January 7 during a federal enforcement operation. Within hours, the Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense after Good attempted to run over officers with her vehicle. Videos and eyewitness accounts soon circulated, showing movement of Good’s car but leaving both her intent and the perception of the ICE agent who fired three shots unresolved.
Local officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey and Governor Tim Walz, rejected the federal account, calling it inaccurate and misleading. The FBI is now leading the investigation, while state authorities say they have limited access to evidence.
