The Justice Department and Homeland Security has until May to provide a federal court unredacted evidence related to the shooting death of Renee Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis.
Minnesota federal judge Jeffrey Bryan made the request Thursday, which includes the personnel files of Jonathan Ross, the agent who killed Good on January 7, including body camera footage or other video from that day.
This all comes from the prosecution of Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala, who was convicted of assaulting Ross during an immigration arrest in Bloomington last year.
According to court records, the evidence will determine the method and timing for any required disclosures to Muñoz-Guatemala.
State and county prosecutors have been frustrated by the refusal of federal authorities to share information relating to incidents related to the federal immigration surge in Minnesota earlier this year, including from the fatal shootings of Good and Alex Pretti by federal officers.
They sued the Trump administration late last month for access to evidence they say they need to independently investigate the three shootings.
The city of Minneapolis released a video showing a chase and a scuffle that ended in a nonfatal shooting in January, and led to the suspensions of two federal officers. The video from a city-owned security camera captured part of the incident in which federal officers chased a Venezuelan to his residence. Another Venezuelan who lives there was shot during the confrontation.
Prosecutors in February dropped all charges against the two immigrants and opened a criminal investigation into whether two officers lied under oath about what had happened.
