On Wednesday, a tragic incident unfolded in Minneapolis when 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot dead by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation. Officials reported that the shooting took place just a few blocks from her residence.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the confrontation took place after officers attempted to stop Good's SUV while she was behind the wheel. Footage reveals that officers were seen trying to open the driver's door when the vehicle reversed and subsequently moved forward, resulting in multiple gunshots as the SUV collided with a parked vehicle.
Details of the Incident
DHS stated that Good failed to comply with the officers' commands and attempted to run down an ICE officer, which they characterized as an attempt to inflict serious harm. The officer who discharged his firearm sustained injuries from the vehicle and was treated at a local hospital.
DHS representative Tricia McLaughlin confirmed the woman's death during the encounter. The FBI, along with the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, has commenced an investigation into the shooting.
About Renee Nicole Good
Renee lived in Minneapolis with her partner and had a six-year-old child. Her mother, Donna Ganger, described her as an incredibly kind individual with a caring heart. "She was loving, forgiving, and affectionate. An extraordinary human being," Ganger shared with the Minnesota Star Tribune.
A 2020 graduate of Old Dominion University, Good earned a degree in English, focused on creative writing, and received accolades for her poetry. The university's president remarked on how her death is emblematic of the increasing prevalence of fear and violence in the nation.
She originally hailed from Colorado Springs and had interests in writing, film, and art. Good's social media portrayed her as a dedicated poet, writer, partner, and mother.
Good was previously married to Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., who sadly passed away in 2023.
Public and Official Reactions
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz encouraged the public not to jump to conclusions and to await the facts, stating that the situation is still under investigation.
