Colleagues and agency records describe Ross as an experienced officer with extensive fieldwork. Supporters argue that his background reflects years of training and exposure to high-risk scenarios. Critics counter that such experience should translate into stronger judgment and restraint, particularly in ambiguous situations involving civilians. Investigators are now examining how his prior training and professional history may have influenced his decisions during the encounter with Good.
Additional scrutiny has emerged around a previous on-duty incident involving Ross in 2025. In that case, he was injured during a vehicle stop conducted as part of an enforcement operation. During sworn testimony related to that incident, Ross spoke about the inherent risks of roadside encounters, noting that drivers sometimes appear hesitant, confused, or attempt to delay compliance. Those remarks have resurfaced in public discussions, with some suggesting they offer insight into his mindset during similar situations.
For Good’s family, the investigations offer little immediate comfort. Loved ones have described their grief as overwhelming and their frustration as deepened by unanswered questions. They have called for full transparency, including the release of all body-camera footage, radio communications, and internal reports related to the operation. Advocacy groups supporting the family argue that accountability is essential not only for justice in this case, but to prevent similar tragedies.
