Tragedy Strikes in Minnesota: Mother, Poet, and Wife Killed by ICE Agent
In a heart-wrenching turn of events, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a devoted wife, mother, poet, and writer, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, leaving her family to mourn the loss.
Good's husband, Becca, described his late wife as "pure sunshine" - a Christian who lived by the principles of loving and caring for others. The couple had six children together, including two from Renee's previous marriage and their young son, aged 6, who has now been left without a mother.
The victim was known to be a compassionate individual, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her mother, Donna Ganger, described Renee as "one of the kindest people I've ever known," while her ex-husband recalled their encounter with the ICE agents, stating she had stopped to support their neighbors.
As news of Good's death spread, a GoFundMe fundraiser quickly gained momentum, shattering its $50,000 goal and raising over $1.5 million in just a few days. Donors from across the globe expressed their condolences for her family, with many praising Renee's bravery in standing up for what was right.
The shooting has sparked widespread outrage, with local officials, including Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, condemning the government's account of events. The Justice Department directed the FBI to take over the case, but the city of Minneapolis called this decision "disappointing."
Renee's passing serves as a painful reminder of the past, particularly in light of George Floyd's tragic death at the same location just six years ago.
As the community comes together to mourn the loss of a neighbor, leaders are calling for reflection and compassion. Senator Amy Klobuchar described Renee as "a mother of three" whose death was caused by the Trump administration's "reckless and deadly actions." Rep. Ilhan Omar added that this tragedy highlights the administration's lack of concern for the safety of Minnesotans.
Renee Nicole Good's life was a testament to the power of love, peace, and compassion. As she is remembered, her family and loved ones will continue to heal and find solace in the outpouring of support from around the world.

this is so sad - like what even is going on with our country? a woman who just wants to help her neighbors gets shot by an ICE agent and people are still getting hurt 
and I'm so tired of all these politicians saying things that aren't true 
it's like we're not learning from the past at all, remember George Floyd? 
and now this poor family is having to deal with all this trauma and stress because of something that's just not right 
what can we even do to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again? 
just thinking about this is giving me the chills... 37 years old, leaving behind a whole fam with tiny kids... 
i mean, who does that? stopping a neighbor just cuz of a wrong address? 
ice agents gotta be held accountable for this 
it's like they're taking away someone's life over a minor mistake... not cool at all 
like what kinda person gets killed by ICE? it's not right at all 
my heart goes out to her family & kids, especially that little 6-year-old who lost his mum 
the fact that she stood up for their neighbors shows how brave & caring Renee was 
can't believe this happened just months after George Floyd's tragic death too... it's like, we're supposed to be a better country than this 
this is just heartbreaking 
I'm all about calling out injustice, but this one takes the cake 
. As a local, it's hard not to feel a sense of anger and sadness when we think about our own community members being affected by these kinds of incidents. We need to take care of each other right now 
.
. I mean we've all been saying it for years but can't anyone learn? a woman who was supporting her neighbors gets shot by an ICE agent and people are still surprised 
.
her family will never be the same... it's just devastating 
I know we shouldn't politicize this tragedy, but it's hard not to wonder about the systemic issues that led up to this moment. And what really gets me is that Renee was literally trying to help her neighbors with the ICE agents who were supposed to be doing their job 
. I don’t think we can even begin to imagine how hard this must be for them right now 
. We need to come together as a community and support each other during these tough times 
.
no one deserves to go through what her fam is going thru 
so much love for Becca & kids, my heart aches for them 
i mean, come on, a $50k goal for the GoFundMe and suddenly it's a million bucks in 3 days? something fishy going on here... maybe they wanted to "study" how people react when someone gets hurt by the authorities 
her legacy is gonna live on through her family & all the people she touched 
it's a shame that renee had to go out like this, but let's keep her memory alive by spreading love & kindness 
. It's disheartening to see our leaders more focused on shielding their reputation than addressing the root causes of violence
