Minnesota investigators say they can't access evidence after fatal ICE shooting and FBI won't work jointly on probe

The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew after federal authorities denied access to evidence, leaving the FBI as the sole investigator in Renee Good's shooting case.

  • The Federal Bureau of Investigation took sole charge of the investigation into the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good on January 8, 2026, after the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension withdrew due to denied access to evidence.
  • The BCA's Force Investigations Unit said it could not meet Minnesota’s standards without full evidence access, and the U.S. Attorney's Office reversed the joint plan yesterday, February 4, 2026.
  • Civilian video shows agents ordering Good out while her vehicle moved away, and footage indicates officer Jonathan Ross fired three rounds as she drove off, with delayed medical response.
  • Governor Tim Walz said state exclusion makes it feel "very, very difficult" to reach a fair outcome and urged peaceful protests as demonstrations continue in Minneapolis and nationwide.
  • Under the Supremacy Clause, federal primacy can apply to federal-crime probes, but legal experts say state prosecutors can still act if federal prosecutors decline, while BCA leaders warn community transparency may suffer if the FBI keeps sole control.
