The federal immigration agent who gunned down a Minneapolis mother in her car has been identified as a political firestorm grips the nation, with critics calling for him to face murder charges.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent was identified as Jonathan Ross by the Star-Tribune, which cited a source with knowledge of the case and court documents. Officials have said Ross was reportedly dragged about 50 yards in a previous incident, leaving him with more than 30 stitches.
Federal brass called Ross an "experienced" officer who was previously injured during a June dragging incident in the Twin Cities.
His identification comes after authorities identified the woman as Renee Nicole Good, 37. It also comes amid mass outrage from state and local officials who have demanded answers.
Gov. Tim Walz came out swinging, demanding: "Minnesota must be part of this investigation."
“The FBI informed the [Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension] that the U.S. Attorney’s Office had reversed course: the investigation would now be led solely by the FBI,” said the state’s top investigative agency, according to the report.
