SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy (DFL- St. Paul) today pressed U.S. Attorney Daniel Rosen to make Minnesota officials part of the investigation into the shooting and killing of Minnesotan Renee Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer this week.
After it was first announced that the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) would conduct a joint investigation with the FBI, the U.S. Attorney’s office reversed course and said the investigation would be conducted solely by the FBI and that the BCA would not have access to any evidence collected in the case.:
In a letter to Rosen, Senator Murphy said:
“The immediate judgment of the circumstances rendered by leaders who are elected and appointed to protect, serve, and represent the people, all of us, is deeply disturbing. It signals to Minnesotans that the investigation into Renee’s death will be biased by those leading it at the federal level, as their own words and reactions have shown. Their judgments contrast with the videos shared by observers and analyses shared by news organizations. This contradiction is harmful, and it is clear there is a need to work to understand and share the truth with Minnesotans.
The US Attorney for Minnesota must lead a just, unbiased, and meaningful investigation. To achieve that result, and to ensure the public trusts the outcome, state officials must have full access to the evidence and participate fully in the proceedings. There is no other way to approach this important moment and no justification for straying from that precedent.”
