ICE agent who shot Renee Good dead set to become millionaire through fundraisers

Following an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of Renee Good on 7 January, online fundraisers were set up to support him.

Jonathan Ross has not returned to work for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) since the incident in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with widespread protests in the US having been sparked.

The mother of three, an American citizen, was shot in the chest, arm and head four times by the agent. While emergency services tried to save Good, she was declared dead 48 minutes after paramedics first arrived.

A GoFundMe was set up to support her widow and family, raising around $1.5 million (£1.12 million). But Ross is now set to become a millionaire if he is able to access the cash raised for him through fundraisers.

Bill Ackman spoke out earlier this week, confirming he was the ‘top donator’ on the fund for the ICE agent.

Met by controversy and backlash, he defended his decision on X claiming he didn’t ‘do any due diligence on the case’ before splashing the cash.

He wrote: "My donation to Ross has been characterised in social media by the press as my 'giving a reward to the murderer of Renee Good' likely in an effort to generate clicks and boost virality, and by some to advance their political objectives."

The billionaire said he has been 'widely reviled (and worse) by many on social and mainstream media' since confessing to the act of charity. Ackman added that he had tried to donate to Good’s family but that the page had closed.

With him donating thousands for Ross, the fundraiser supporting Ross has generated over $750,000 (£560,700). Another page has also received over $282,000 (£210,800) in his support, meaning he could access over $1 million (£747,545).

The organiser of the main page for the agent describes Good as a ‘domestic terrorist’ and claims that Ross ‘deserves a fundraiser’. An update says that contact has been made with him and ‘arrangements are being put into place to transfer the funds as the officer wishes’.

The moments surrounding Good’s death were captured on video with Ross allegedly heard calling her a 'f***ing b***h' after firing the shots.

The FBI has launched an investigation into her death as Donald Trump, JD Vance and homeland security secretary Kristi Noem have repeatedly said the agent acted in self-defence.

“There are a couple versions of that tape that are very, very bad,” Trump told CBS.

Asked what he would say to Good’s grieving dad, the US President replied: “I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But, you know, her actions were pretty tough.”

Good’s wife described her as ‘pure love, ‘pure joy’ and ‘pure sunshine’ as she wants her legacy to be one of ‘kindness and love’.

“We honour her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love,” the statement included.
