ICE agent involved in fatal shooting Wednesday was involved in another incident in June

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Good on Wednesday morning has been identified through court documents from a June incident in Bloomington. NPR has confirmed that Jonathan Ross is the ICE officer who shot and killed Good as she was driving away from a group of agents on Portland Avenue.

The Department of Homeland Security has not released Ross’ name, but DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said that the same agent who killed Good had been dragged by a car in an incident last year.

Hundreds of protestors marched down Lake Street Thursday night in a peaceful demonstration against ICE.

The shooting this week is just the latest in a series of traumatic events in the state. Daniel Griffith is pastor and rector of the Basilica of St. Mary in Minneapolis. He says the Twin Cities are dealing with collective trauma, following the assassination of state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, and the Annunciation school shooting. But he says it's important to maintain hope.

Construction job growth remains strong across the state. A report released Thursday by the Minnesota Department of Employment and Development, or DEED, shows it posted the strongest annual rate of growth of all Minnesota’s sectors.

Turning to the arts calendar, it wouldn’t be January without ice sculptures. At the Minneapolis Institute of Art, artists are carving massive ice blocks into replicas of the museum’s artwork.
