The victim has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, a local resident and U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n

Video and eyewitnesses show the shooting occurred as the woman was in her vehicle; officers approached the car and shots were fired<\/p>\n

Different accounts of what led to the shooting
\n\ud83d\udd39 Federal authorities\u2019 version
\nThe Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and ICE say the agent fired because they believed the woman was trying to run over officers with her vehicle, posing a threat to their safety. <\/p>\n

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described the incident as self-defense and claimed the woman had been aggressive toward federal agents earlier in the day<\/p>\n

Local officials and bystanders\u2019 version
\nMinneapolis officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey, dispute the federal account and say the video evidence does not support the claim that she was trying to run over officers.<\/p>\n
