Minneapolis ICE shooting: A minute-by-minute timeline of how Renee Nicole Good died
It could all come down to 399 milliseconds.
That's the amount of time between the first two gunshots fired by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in the deadly shooting of a U.S. citizen in Minneapolis Wednesday, according to an ABC News metadata analysis.
The circumstances surrounding 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good's death have ignited a national firestorm, with leaders of Minnesota's largest city, along with numerous lawmakers, condemning the ICE agents' actions, while federal officials say that the agents acted in self defense after Good tried to ram them with her car in an act of domestic terrorism.
Good, a Minneapolis mother of three, was in the driver's seat of her Honda Pilot in the middle of a residential street when an ICE agent opened fire.
ABC News' minute-by-minute, frame-by-frame review of video of the incident includes a close look of what happened before, during, and after the moments that led to Good's death.

Federal law enforcement officers in Minneapolis were "doing an enforcement operation" Wednesday morning when their vehicle got stuck in the snow, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said at a news conference Wednesday afternoon.
Noem says agents called for others to help remove the vehicle from the snow, when protesters arrived and were "preventing them from leaving the scene."
"They were returning back to headquarters, I believe, to start a new operation," Noem tells reporters, adding that they "had just completed one."
Local resident Lynette Reini-Grandell told ABC News that a number of neighbors were standing watch as students were being dropped off at nearby Richard E. Green Central Park Elementary School, due to reports of ICE activity in the neighborhood.
The Department of Homeland Security had previously announced an increase in immigration enforcement activity in the Minneapolis area.

2 minutes before the shooting
Renee Nicole Good's Honda Pilot is stopped diagonally on Portland Avenue while at least four cars pass perpendicularly, according to video footage recorded by Reini-Grandell.
The passenger side front window is closed while the rear window is mostly open. Seconds later, at least three federal agents wearing masks are seen walking toward the Honda Pilot, as bystanders can be heard whistling and yelling at officers.

A woman who would later identify herself as Good's partner stands behind the Honda Pilot and appears to question a federal agent, according to video obtained by local attorney Daniel Suitor that was shared with ABC News. The woman and the agent appear to be holding up cellphones filming each other.
The Honda Pilot can be seen moving very slightly forward while the woman and agent are behind the car. The vehicle then stops.
This agent would subsequently move alongside the Honda Pilot's passenger side and position himself in the front of the car.

15 seconds before the shooting
A Ford Explorer with California license plates that had been on the side of Portland Avenue can be seen on video pulling out onto the street. A different video shows Good's driver-side front window is open, and she appears to gesture for the Ford Explorer to pass in front of her Honda Pilot, which it does.
Good continues to wave her hand from left to right after the Ford passes as two other officers are seen pulling up in an unmarked Nissan Titan pickup truck with flashing red and blue lights. They stop in the middle of the street.
5 seconds before the shooting
The two officers in the Nissan Titan are seen on video exiting their vehicle. They approach the Honda Pilot, ordering Good to "get out of the car." While they are approaching, the Honda Pilot is put in reverse. The officer who emerged from the driver's side of the Nissan Titan puts his left hand on the bottom of the Honda Pilot's driver-side front window and his right hand on the door handle, appearing to try to open the door. His hands remain in that position while the Honda Pilot backs up a few feet, with the front wheels of the car pointed to the left as the car backs up.
