Renee Good was shot in the left forearm, right breast and left side of her head during an encounter with ICE training officer Jonathan Ross earlier this month in Minneapolis, an autopsy commissioned by her family has revealed.

The results reveal the forearm and chest gunshots were not immediately life-threatening, while the third shot to her head is what ended her life.
