City : Brooklyn
County : Kings
State : New York
Agency : New York City Police Department
Officer(s) : Unknown
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by police during SWAT standoff in hospital during mental health crisis
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY : On 01/08/2026, New York City police shot and killed a man inside New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn. What is currently known about the man and the situation is based primarily on police and hospital statements released after the incident. The man was a patient at New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and had been admitted for unknown medical problems the day before the shooting. According to authorities, he locked himself inside a hospital room on the eighth floor with two other people, described as an elderly patient and a hospital security worker in mental health crisis. Hospital staff reported that the man was holding a sharp object and behaving in a distressed manner.
Police say the man injured himself while inside the room and refused repeated commands to drop the object. Officers fired Tasers. During the confrontation, police allege that the man moved toward officers while holding the still unidentified object, and officers opened fire, killing him inside the hospital. He was pronounced dead at the scene. The hospital went into lockdown during the incident, and patients and visitors were evacuated from the area.
At this time, the man’s name has not been released publicly. Reporting describes him as being in his 60s, but no further personal background information has been disclosed, including why he was hospitalized, whether he had a standing mental health diagnosis, or whether he had family present. Police have stated that body-worn camera footage exists, but it has not yet been publicly released.
An initial review of social media shows limited early discussion of the incident. Local news posts on Instagram and Twitter describe a police presence and lockdown at the hospital and express shock that a man was killed inside a medical facility. At this stage, there does not appear to be widespread viral eyewitness video, organized protests, or sustained public dispute of the police account, though that may change if additional video, family statements, or new details emerge. No family members have publicly commented as of now, and no independent eyewitness accounts contradicting the police narrative have surfaced in a significant way.
Several key questions remain unanswered, including what led to the escalation inside the room, whether alternative de-escalation options were considered, and what role specialized police units played during the response. These issues warrant continued monitoring as more information becomes available.

Renee Nicole Good
Age :37
Gender :Female
Race : White
Date : 01/07/2026
Location : Portland Avenue & East 33rd/34th Streets, Minneapolis
City : Minneapolis
County : Hennepin
State : Minnesota
Agency : U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
Officer(s) : Jonathan David Ross
Cause of Death : Gunshot
Event : Killed by on-duty ICE agent while driving
OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :
On 01/07/2026, Renee Nicole Good, 37, was shot and killed by an on-duty U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent on a residential street in south Minneapolis during a federal immigration enforcement operation. Good was seated in her SUV when multiple federal agents surrounded the vehicle and shouted commands. Video footage from multiple angles shows Good attempting to maneuver her vehicle out of a confined space while agents swarmed her vehicle near the driver-side door.
Video-based reporting and frame-by-frame analysis show that Good did not strike, run over, or make physical contact with the agent who fired 3 shots into her face and head at close range. The footage shows the agent stepping out of the vehicle’s path as the SUV moved forward and firing from the side as the vehicle passed. The vehicle then continued forward and collided with another vehicle and a telephone pole. Good was left in the car and bled out while a physician on scene was seen on video to try to help her and be prevented by ICE agents. Federal officials and political leaders, including former President Donald Trump, publicly claimed the agent was nearly killed, but that characterization is disputed by video evidence, which shows no direct contact between the vehicle and the agent.
While ICE did not identify the shooter, the Minneapolis Star Tribune identified him as Jonathan David Ross, a 10-year veteran ICE agent.
Witness video further documents that after Good was shot, federal agents blocked bystanders from approaching the vehicle as she remained inside, bleeding and unresponsive. Witnesses reported that agents prevented immediate medical assistance, including stopping at least one doctor from reaching the vehicle, while pointing rifles at those attempting to help. Emergency medical aid was delayed as agents secured the area. Good was later pronounced dead inside the vehicle.
Federal authorities have not released the name of the agent involved, have not disclosed the type of firearm used by the agent, and have not stated how many shots were fired. ICE has not provided a detailed timeline of events, has not held a press conference, and has not released forensic or ballistic evidence. Officials have offered only limited statements asserting self-defense, without public evidence disclosure.
Good was a mother and lived in Minneapolis with her partner. Family members and community advocates described her as a caring parent and a creative person.Vigils and protests followed the killing, with community members demanding transparency, accountability, and the release of the agent’s identity. The case became a focal point for criticism of ICE tactics, secrecy, and use of force during enforcement operations.
This killing occurred within one week of another controversial ICE-related fatal shooting. On 12/31/2025, Keith Porter Jr., 43, was shot and killed in Los Angeles by an off-duty ICE agent at the Village Pointe apartment complex in Northridge. The proximity of the two killings intensified public outrage and scrutiny, with activists and community members describing a pattern of unchecked violence and federal agent impunity.
