Following the shooting death of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, state and local leaders are expressing concerns about the fairness and transparency of the FBI's investigation. The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), Minnesota's lead investigative agency, was initially involved but the U.S. Attorney's office has since given the FBI sole control of the investigation, denying the BCA access to evidence, scene materials, and interviews. Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty emphasized that this lack of access hinders the BCA's ability to conduct a thorough and independent investigation. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey criticized the federal government's narrative of the event and called for a separate state investigation, citing concerns about transparency and potential bias. The ICE agent involved, Jonathan Ross, was allowed to leave the scene with the weapon after the shooting.
