"There are a ton of videos on social media of the actual shooting because there were ICE watchers in the area as this was all unfolding," anchor Karen Scullin explains in the segment. "Most of these videos show the angle from behind the maroon SUV that the victim was driving, or from the side. There was also one from that front of that SUV. And really, these videos tell a very different story from one another."
""In 2026, newsrooms face a new reckoning," Grut, a researcher at the University of Oslo, wrote. "Either you've built out visual investigative competence or you'll pay the price in lengthy corrections, lost credibility, and missed opportunities."

Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul reported live from the block where an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. Multiple bystander videos circulated, each showing different angles and implying different narratives. A prior warning predicted that newsrooms lacking visual verification skills would face costly credibility losses. The New York Times, Bellingcat, and The Washington Post applied visual forensics to the same videos and challenged claims that the agent acted in self-defense. Other outlets that only showed the footage provided conflicting or muddied accounts, affected by choices in wording and which video angles were emphasized. One key clip was first published by the Minnesota Reformer and was widely shared.
