The Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who fatally shot Renee Nicole Good has been identified.
Jonathan Ross had been assigned to the Enforcement and Removal Operations special response team and had worked for ICE for several years, according to MS NOW.
The Minnesota Star Tribune first reported Ross's name.
The outlet noted that Ross has not been charged with any crime.

Wednesday's incident occurred after the Department of Homeland Security deployed roughly 2,000 federal agents in the state as part of an aggressive crackdown on supposed fraud. The DHS has said that “rioters began blocking ICE officers” during what it called “targeted operations" near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue. The department alleged that Good “weaponized” her vehicle by attempting to run over agents, labeling her actions as "domestic terrorism" and those of the officers as "self-defense," but multiple eyewitness accounts and video footage from the incident contradict this.
While officials have not identified Ross, Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance both have alluded to a previous incident in which Ross tried to arrest an undocumented Guatemalan citizen over the summer. Citing case documents, MS NOW reports that Ross had blocked the suspect's car after a flee attempt. During the incident, Ross tased the person but was dragged over 100 meters as the suspect tried to leave the scene.

On Wednesday, Noem said the agent “had previously been dragged by an anti-ICE rider who had rammed him with a car and drug him back in June.”
On Thursday, Vance told media outlets that the agent was almost killed six months ago.
“So you think maybe he’s a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile,” Vance added.
