Ruben Ray Martinez was shot to death in South Padre Island on March 15, 2025, in an almost identical procedure to the execution of Renee Good.

…HSI group supervisory special agent utilized his government-issued service weapon, discharging multiple rounds at the driver through the open driver’s side window.

The news of the execution was covered locally, yet ICE buried the report. The obvious connection to ICE procedures being videoed in Minneapolis was not made until now.

On January 7, Renée Nicole Good, a 37-year-old writer and mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent during an immigration operation in Minneapolis. 

Less than three weeks later, on January 24, Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old U.S. citizen and intensive care nurse, was shot and killed by Customs and Border Protection agents in Minneapolis during the same enforcement deployment. 

The video of ICE publicly executing Good lays bare the methods used on U.S. citizens. An agent stands near the front of a vehicle while he and others intentionally escalate fear, threatening and agitating the driver, then they shoot through the driver side window at close range.
