Tensions are flaring in Minneapolis after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fatally shot a 37-year-old woman on Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security has alleged that the victim, Renee Good, was attempting to run over law enforcement officers when an ICE officer fatally shot her Wednesday morning -- a claim that local officials have disputed.
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 Renee Good's death.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is pleading for transparency and is urging federal investigators to include Minnesota's state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension in the investigation of Wednesday's fatal shooting.
Frey said it is "deeply concerning" if the DOJ and the Trump administration have "already come to a conclusion" in the investigation. Minnesota's BCA "has consistently run these investigations before" with expertise and without bias, the mayor said, and he said including the state agency will help ensure a "fair investigation."
"We got nothing to hide from here -- all we want in Minneapolis is justice and the truth," he said at a news conference on Friday.
"In 2020, the state legislature created the Force Investigations Unit after the murder of George Floyd," Minnesota state Rep. Aisha Gomez said at the news conference.
"One of the things that we learned is that if you actually are interested in public safety, if you actually are interested in the legitimacy of a law enforcement force in your community, then you must be invested in accountability, in transparency and in fair investigations when bad things happen," she said.
"We call on the FBI to share the evidence with the Force Investigations Unit at the BCA and have this be a legitimate and trusted investigation," Gomez said.
Another local official said, if a joint investigation isn't possible, the federal investigators should share the evidence with state investigators so the state can conduct a parallel investigation to determine if the ICE agent's use of force was justified.
Minneapolis city officials said they are removing barriers that were blocking the streets in the vicinity of the shooting, citing concerns of delays to medical and fire emergency response.
Officials said they will not remove the memorial to Renee Good and "will continue to keep the area around these memorials clear and clean for the benefit of all."

There could be up to 100 more federal agents deployed to Minneapolis in the coming days, according to multiple law enforcement sources.
The sources cautioned the deployment and number of additional agents could change, given the fluid situation on the ground in the city.
The Department of Homeland Security already has the largest ever deployment of agents on the ground in one city between ICE and HSI.
This detail was first reported by the New York Times.
