MINNEAPOLIS, Minnesota — Minnesota officials on Friday urged the public to submit any videos or evidence related to the fatal shooting of a local woman by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, after federal authorities revoked state investigators’ access to the case.
Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said at a press conference that her office will provide a public submission portal for evidence connected to the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good, who was shot Wednesday during an ICE encounter. The move follows a decision by the FBI to remove the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension from the investigation, leaving the probe under exclusive federal control.
Moriarty emphasized that Minnesota retains jurisdiction to determine whether criminal charges are warranted, despite the Trump administration’s decision to cut off the state’s access to investigative materials. She said her office is concerned that federal authorities may not share evidence needed to make a charging decision.
“We do not yet know if there will be sufficient evidence without the FBI case file to even make a charging decision,” Moriarty said.
Video footage posted online shows Macklin Good’s vehicle surrounded by multiple officers, with commands shouted for her to exit the car. The officer who fired the shots is seen approaching from the front as the vehicle turns its wheels. Three shots are heard as the car moves past the officer, later crashing into a parked vehicle.
It remains unclear whether the officer was struck by the vehicle. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has said he was, while video evidence has not conclusively shown contact.
