The ICE officer involved in the fatal January 7 Minneapolis shooting has been identified, as new details emerge about his history and a past violent encounter.Court records have confirmed the identity of Jonathan E. Ross, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good.Ross was previously injured during a 2025 arrest attempt, and his connection to both incidents has drawn national attention. In response, U.S. Vice President JD Vance publicly addressed the situation.Ross is a 10-year veteran of ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO) division, according to The Guardian.Federal officials have declined to publicly confirm the officer’s name. In a statement to the outlet, Tricia McLaughlin, Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), said,

“We are not going to expose the name of this officer. He acted according to his training.”However, his identity was confirmed through court filings that matched details of the previous year’s incident cited by the DHS. The Minneapolis Star Tribune also named Ross in a January 8, 2026, article, citing court records and video evidence linking him to the earlier case.As reported by The New York Post, the case occurred on June 17, 2025, during a traffic stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, when Ross attempted to arrest Roberto Carlos Muñoz, a Guatemalan national with prior convictions, including sexual assault of a minor.A video of the encounter was also recorded, capturing the moment tensions escalated. Muñoz reportedly refused to exit his vehicle. Ross then broke the rear driver’s side window, at which point Muñoz accelerated, dragging Ross approximately 100 yards with his arm trapped inside the car.
