US EditionFamily and Neighbors Mourn Woman Who Was Shot by ICE Agent and Had Made Minneapolis Home
The shooting by ICE officers of a U.S. citizen mother sparked protests rejecting claims of self-defense, with local officials calling the justification invalid.
- On Jan. 8, 2026, Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was fatally shot behind the wheel by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis after dropping off her youngest child at an elementary school.
- Bystanders' video shows an officer approach Good's car, demand she open the door and grab the handle, and as she began to pull forward a different ICE officer fired at least two shots in under 10 seconds.
- Those who knew Good recalled her roles as mother and creative writer, describing her as a `poet and writer` who studied at Old Dominion University and had a 6-year-old son plus children aged 15 and 12.
- By Thursday, a few dozen neighbors and protesters had gathered on the one-way street where Good was killed, blocking it with burning steel drums while passersby left flowers at a makeshift memorial and a handwritten sign `NO MEDIA INQUIRES` appeared on a front door.
- State and local officials rejected the administration's account, with Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey calling the self-defense claim `garbage`, while advocates said scrutiny of ICE tactics has intensified as ICE held more than 4,600 people in Michigan this year.
