Letter to the Editor:

I’ve carefully read the letters and opinions of NYS Senator Shelley Mayer, and Dean Politopoulos, retired Yonkers Police Officer, regarding the killing of Renee Nicole Good, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 7th, 2026. His letter fails to name her, which dehumanizing her and the three children her death leaves behind.

He insinuates that she “intervened in law enforcement operations” and that she was a “lawbreaker act with impunity.” Totally untrue.

The New York Times, in contrast, investigated and carefully detailed frame by frame which shows the events what happened, also shown from several different vantage points. It shows that President Trump, Kristi Noem, Vice President Vance and other Trump administration officials outrageously outright LIED; a substantial clear swatch of space separates ICE Agent Jonathan Ross’ body from Ms. Good’s car, clearly showing that her car did not hit him. Ms. Good’s plum colored car’s front wheel was turned AWAY from Agent Ross; no part of his body nor foot was in contact with Ms. Good’s car, nor “run over”.

“An analysis of footage from three camera angles show that the vehicle appears to be turning away from a federal officer as he opened fire.”

Agent Ross fired one shot at Mr. Good through her driver’s side windshield, and then as she was driving and turning away from him, he fired at least two shots into her head, killing her.

ICE Agents at the scene refused medical attention for Mr. Good. Agents blocked several bystanders who attempt to provide medical care, including one who identifies himself as a physician
