00:00According to court documents and accounts from federal officials, the ICE agent who shot and killed 37-year-old Renee
00:05Goode is Jonathan Ross.
00:07Investigative reporter Kirsten Swanson has new details about Ross and a look at his history here in the Twin Cities.
00:13A law enforcement source tells ABC News that Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent seen here, is based in Minneapolis.
00:20Homeland Security officials confirm to us he has 10 years of experience as an ICE deportation officer and is a
00:26member of the Special Response Team.
00:28Now, that is a highly trained tactical unit that's dispatched in high-profile situations.
00:33Hours after the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem told reporters this was the same agent who was injured in
00:40June when he was rammed by a car and dragged.
00:43And today, while answering questions at the White House, Vice President J.D. Vance added even more detail to that
00:48story. Listen.
00:50That very ICE officer nearly had his life ended, dragged by a car six months ago, 33 stitches in his
00:59leg.
00:59So you think maybe he's a little bit sensitive about somebody ramming him with an automobile?
01:04Using that information, our team found court documents that describe that encounter.
01:09It happened in Bloomington back on June 17th.
01:11According to federal charges, Roberto Carlo Manzuno, Guatemala, fled from ICE agents when they attempted an immigration arrest.
01:20Now, during that stop, Ross ordered him out of the car.
01:22When Munoz, Guatemala, didn't comply, Ross broke the car's rear driver's side window that you see here and reached in
01:29to unlock the driver door.
01:30At that point, Munoz, Guatemala, drove off, dragging the agent approximately 100 yards down the street, according to court documents.
01:37The charging documents include photos of Ross's injuries, a cut to his right arm and a gash on his left
01:43hand.
01:43Both required stitches.
01:45Last month, the jury convicted Munoz, Guatemala, of assault of a federal officer with a dangerous and deadly weapon.
01:51Court records show Ross was the prosecution's first witness who testified in that trial.
01:57Now, our team asked the Department of Homeland Security twice yesterday to confirm the June incident that they are describing.
02:04We've also asked federal officials to confirm Agent Ross's identity and tell us if he's been involved in any other
02:09use-of-force incidents.
02:11This afternoon, we received a statement from DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin that said, in part, quote,
02:18we are not going to expose the name of this officer.
02:21He acted according to his training, end quote.
02:24That was Kirsten Swanson.
02:26That was Kirsten Swanson.
