The ICE agent who fatally shot US citizen Renee Nicole Good is now a millionaire thanks to a series of online fundraising campaigns launched in the aftermath of the fatal incident.
Good, a mother of three, was shot and killed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan "Jon" Ross on January 7. The shooting, which was captured on video, sparked protests across the United States and reignited debate over law enforcement use of force.
The case has also deepened political divisions, with supporters of Good and her family demanding accountability while others have publicly defended Ross and his actions.
A GoFundMe campaign established to support Good's widow and their sons has raised nearly $1.5 million
At the same time, an unverified GoFundMe page created in support of Ross has collected more than $795,000.
The fundraiser was launched by Clyde Emmons, who described Good as a "domestic terrorist" and said the shooting was "1000 percent justified." He also stated that Ross "deserves" a fundraiser.
Critics have called on GoFundMe to remove the campaign, arguing that it breaches the platform's terms of service.
According to Forbes, the fundraiser's description was reportedly changed from stating that donations would "go to help pay for any legal services this officer needs" to saying that "Funds will go to help him."
A separate GiveSendGo campaign has reportedly raised around $295,000. The page describes Ross as a "patriot" and states that funds will go toward "our ICE hero's personal costs, family protection, and anything else related to this righteous act of duty."
The FBI has launched an investigation into Good's death, although sources familiar with the case have suggested Ross is unlikely to face criminal charges.
According to an insider who spoke to the New York Times, the Department of Justice has not opened its own investigation into the shooting.
Transcripts from emergency calls made during the incident revealed confusion and panic at the scene.
"There's 15 ICE agents and they shot her, like, 'cause she wouldn't open her car door," one caller said, per CNN.
Another witness told dispatchers: "ICE fired shots into her windshield."
"She's bleeding," the caller added.
Emergency communications also indicated that authorities later worked to remove ICE officers from the area while protesters attempted to breach the secured scene.
Good's family has, per CBS News, retained the same law firm that represented George Floyd's family following the civil case connected to his death.
In a statement, Good's parents and siblings remembered her as a "beautiful light" who brought "joy."
The family said: "We want to thank everyone who has reached out in support of Renee and our family. The kind of unending care we've been given during this time is exactly the kind that she gave to everyone."
The shooting remains under investigation as fundraising efforts for both Good's family and Ross continue to attract significant public attention.
