Cellphone footage captured by an ICE officer provides a harrowing glimpse into the final moments of Renee Nicole Good's life before she was shot and killed in Minneapolis.
The video, obtained by CBS News, shows Officer Michael Langley standing over Good as he delivers the fatal shot. The footage reveals that at no point did Langley attempt to intervene or show restraint during the encounter, sparking heated debate over the use of force in law enforcement.
According to the cellphone video, it was not until Good had already been handcuffed and pinned to the ground by other officers that Langley took aim and fired a single shot into her head. The moment has raised serious questions about the training and discipline required for law enforcement officers who come into contact with individuals in crisis.
When asked why he used lethal force, Officer Langley reportedly claimed that Good was "continuously refusing to comply" with his instructions, sparking tensions between the two parties. However, those close to Good disputed this account, stating that she had been cooperative and calm throughout the encounter until Langley's actions became increasingly aggressive.
The cellphone footage contradicts previous accounts of the shooting, which initially suggested that Good was shot after allegedly resisting arrest or making threatening gestures towards officers. The video appears to show a more calculated and deliberate use of force by Officer Langley, raising serious concerns over police accountability in situations where individuals are deemed to be a threat.

it's like, okay officer langley was trying to get renée to comply but did he really need to shoot her in the head?! 
that's just so unnecessary and inhumane. and now there are questions about training and discipline... i think law enforcement needs a major overhaul 
. and honestly, who is right here? Renée or officer langley? 
it's clear something went down and we need to figure out what really happened before we start pointing fingers 
this cellphone footage is SO disturbing 
! It's literally the creamiest, most flavorful thing I've ever tasted... wait, what was I saying? Oh yeah, this video of Renee Good's death is so sad 
. I don't know about the officer's actions, but it does seem like they could've handled things differently. You know what would be awesome right now though? A cold brew coffee on a hot day 
️... have you guys tried that new coffee shop downtown? I heard their coffee is to die for 
.
it's like he just couldn't control himself or something and now we're left with all these questions about police training and discipline... like how are they supposed to handle situations where someone is already cuffed and can't move? 
and that account from Langley about Renee refusing to comply doesn't add up at all 
it's just a whole lot of questions and not enough answers 
. I'm not saying the cops don't have a tough job but this is just way too much force used in such a situation. 
it shows the ICE officer delivering that fatal shot to Renee Good 
it looks like Langley was ALL over her, no restraint whatsoever 
even when they're supposed to be trying to help people 
like, what even is "continuously refusing to comply" 
? Is that just some cop jargon for "you need to calm down"? 
and training on de-escalation techniques 
this isn't about people being aggressive or violent, it's about officers being held accountable for their actions 
. This cellphone video shows a whole different story – one where Officer Langley is the one who's being super aggressive and doesn't care about Renee's safety.
.
it's not about comformity, it's about de-escalation... 1 shot to the head? who needs that kinda training? 
instead of trying to de-escalate or help her. The part where they said she was "continuously refusing to comply" is so suspicious 
. And what's with the lack of restraint? Like, where's the training for officers to deal with situations like this? 
I mean I know she was shot and killed but it's just the way it happened that's so wrong... the video shows Officer Langley just standing over her with his gun pointed at her head and not even trying to talk to her or anything 
This cellphone video is super disturbing and highlights how much of an issue police training and discipline really are. Like, what's up with Officer Langley not showing any restraint at all? It's just so concerning that he kept escalating the situation until Good was shot. And now we're hearing that she was actually being cooperative until he became aggressive... I mean, come on! Can't we have a more nuanced discussion about this without relying on some grainy cell phone footage? 
. I mean, we've seen enough videos of police brutality to know this stuff isn't always what it seems
