Fact Check: Image claiming to show Renee Nicole Good’s car aimed at ICE officer isn’t what it seems.
However, the image was fake. Using reverse image search tools, we traced it to a post from X user @ScummyMummy511, who acknowledged using artificial intelligence to create it. The AI-generated depiction also did not match the scene shown in multiple credible videos and photos of the shooting, further proving it wasn’t authentic.
