ICE Agent Behind Fatal Shooting in Minneapolis May Have Served in Iraq, Report Suggests

A shocking incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has left the nation reeling. ICE agent Jonathan Ross has been identified as the person who shot and killed Renee Nicole Good on Wednesday. The shooting, captured on video, quickly went viral and sparked widespread outrage. The federal government was quick to defend the actions of its agents, with the Secretary of Homeland Security labeling Good a 'domestic terrorist.' However, multiple investigations are underway to determine the circumstances surrounding the shooting. New information has emerged about Ross, who has been at the center of the controversy. According to a report from The Intercept, Ross may have a military background. A photo on Facebook, apparently posted by Ross's father, shows a man with an assault rifle and is captioned 'Jon Ross in Iraq.' The image, along with other details, suggests a possible connection to the agent. Ross has a history of working in high-stress environments. Prior to the incident in Minneapolis, he lived near a US Army base in New Mexico and on the outskirts of El Paso, Texas. In 2025, Ross was involved in another incident where a Guatemalan man dragged him over 100 meters in a car, leaving him with serious injuries. The ICE agent involved in the shooting was described as an 'experienced' officer who 'followed his training.' He was assigned to the enforcement and removal operations special response team (ERO SRT) of ICE, a unit known for its high-risk operations. As investigations continue, questions remain about the events leading up to the fatal shooting and the potential military background of the agent involved.
