As the officer moves toward the back of the vehicle, apparently to record the license plate, Good’s wife is heard saying, “It’s OK, we don’t change our plates every morning. It will be the same plate when you come talk to us later.”
The officer continues around the vehicle as someone off camera can be heard shouting, “Get out of the car, get out of the car.”
In the video, Good then turns the steering wheel, and the vehicle moves forward. The officer is heard saying “Whoa” before firing his weapon.
The vehicle then continues down the street before coming to a stop after crashing.
Good, 37, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Department of Homeland Security has previously defended the officer’s actions, saying he fired in self-defense. The FBI is leading the investigation. State and local officials have requested an independent investigation.
About the Video
The video was first released to a partisan, conservative-leaning news organization called Alpha News. It was then released to selected other media outlets, not including Scripps News. It is not clear who or which agency released the video. The leak occurred even as the government insists it is carrying out a legitimate investigation.
After Alpha News posted the video, Vice President JD Vance and a rapid response account for President Donald Trump's White House almost immediately reposted it. The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed its authenticity.
