Many of you probably remember the name Jonathan Ross. The media and the internet made him famous after the Renee Good murder. Ross’ actions in the Good murder could help another person that was arrested by him. Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala was arrested by Ross back in June of 2025. According to Wired, Ross’ actions in Good’s murder could impact his sentence.
According to court filings, “Ross and other agents were attempting to interview Muñoz-Guatemala last summer, and possibly process him for deportation, because he had an administrative warrant out for being in the country without authorization. They surrounded his Nissan Altima and attempted to remove him from the vehicle. Ross then used a tool to shatter the rear driver’s-side window before reaching inside. When the defendant accelerated away, Ross testified, he was dragged approximately 100 yards, during which time he repeatedly deployed a taser. Muñoz-Guatemala subsequently called 911 to report he’d been the victim of an assault.”

During his trial, Muñoz-Guatemala stated that he didn’t know who they were. Ross wore his badge around his belt. Ross later said that Muñoz-Guatemala wanted to speak to an attorney. Which indicated to Ross that he knew why they were arresting him. However, an FBI agent on scene denied ever hearing that exchange. Not to mention that claim was never mentioned in any pre-trial interviews. The defense first heard that during his testimony in court.
How Could Renee Good Case Help Him?
Lying during the trial wouldn’t be a surprise. Unsubstantiated reports claimed he had suffered “internal bleeding” after his incident with Good.
“Attorneys for Roberto Carlos Muñoz-Guatemala asked a federal judge on Friday to order prosecutors to turn over training records as well as investigative files related to Ross,”Wired reports. “The ICE agent who killed Good on January 7 during Operation Metro Surge and was also injured in a June 2025 incident in which Muñoz-Guatemala dragged him with his car.”

Now, will this change the verdict of the jury? Most likely not. The jury had to answer a two-question tree. Jurors could convict if they believed he should have known Ross was law enforcement. They could also convict him if they believed driving away was not a reasonable response. Like many ICE agents, they don’t wear any identifying clothes that say “ICE” on them.
Real law enforcement wear law enforcement identification. Such as “police”, “FBI”, or “SWAT”. The concept that they need to be protected is foolish. Law enforcement, who live in those cities, don’t wear masks. They may cover their name tags when they are about to use excessive force on protesters. Many of them wear face shields, which is for protection.
Would the Government Provide Details?
There has been no indication that they would. There is no incentive for them to do so. Courts give empty threats but never punishment. Not to mention that the Trump Administration creates narratives about their shootings to demonize the victim. Something local law enforcement uses. Essentially claiming they were a small time thief, thus their death is justified. We saw that after Good and Pretti’s murder.

You would expect that normally an agent with a history of aggressive behavior would be punished. Living in LA for much of my life, I have seen many cops skirt punishment in LAPD. Even if they are fired, they would get a new job at another department. As many people say, law enforcement isn’t about protecting people. It’s about protecting the rich from the people.
