What to know about Renee Good, woman killed in Minneapolis ICE shooting

A Mother's Senseless Death: What Went Wrong in Minneapolis ICE Shooting?

On Wednesday, a devastating incident shook the city of Minneapolis when Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother and resident, was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer. The tragic event has left the community reeling and sparked widespread outrage.

According to Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, Good allegedly attempted to run over ICE law enforcement officers with her vehicle. However, videos of the incident have surfaced, showing that the ICE agent's actions were not in self-defense. The footage appears to show the agent approaching Good on foot while she was driving away, and at least two shots were fired before the vehicle crashed.

Good's death has sent shockwaves through Minneapolis, particularly given the city's history with high-profile police brutality cases, including the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. As a result, Governor Tim Walz has issued a "warning order" to prepare the Minnesota National Guard, citing concerns over potential civil unrest.

The incident highlights a deeply troubling trend of federal agents using excessive force against civilians. According to Department of Homeland Security officials, Good's actions were seen as an "act of domestic terrorism," yet videos suggest otherwise. ICE officials claim that Good was attempting to run over law enforcement officers, but eyewitnesses have disputed this narrative.

Tragically, Renee Good leaves behind a 6-year-old child and a wife. Friends and family members have expressed their condolences, with some describing her as a devoted mother who lived life to the fullest. Her education background includes a degree in English from Old Dominion University in Virginia.

As the investigation continues, questions remain about what led up to the shooting and why ICE officials claimed it was self-defense. The incident has sparked heated debate, with many calling for greater accountability within law enforcement agencies.

The shooting serves as a painful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality in America. As we grapple with this senseless tragedy, one thing is clear: Renee Good's life was cut short by an agent who claimed to be acting in self-defense. The truth will likely be more complex, but one thing is certain โ€“ her family deserves answers, and the community demands justice for a mother taken from us far too soon.
 
I'm still remembering when I watched my grandpa get pulled over by the cops back in '92, it was so scary, we thought we were living in a bad movie ๐ŸŽฅ. Now this Renee Good girl, 37 and all that, just trying to make ends meet and live life with her family... tragic what happened to her ๐Ÿค•. I mean, you got this "warning order" thing going on, but sometimes it feels like law enforcement is just shooting first and asking questions later ๐Ÿ’”. What really gets me is the whole domestic terrorism label - if it was that bad, why not charge them for it? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ ICE needs to get its act together and respect people's rights, you know?
 
This whole thing just smells like another example of systemic injustice ๐Ÿคฌ. I mean, Renee Good's a mom trying to protect herself from an agent who was literally walking up to her car... what exactly was she supposed to do? ICE officials saying she was "acting out" and an act of domestic terrorism? That's some serious profiling right there ๐Ÿšซ. And Governor Walz stepping in with the National Guard, just waiting for a reason to crack down on peaceful protesters again ๐Ÿ‘€. Meanwhile, we're still trying to figure out why Renee Good got shot in the first place... it's all about accountability and transparency here ๐Ÿ’”. Can't we just have some truth-telling without politicians trying to control the narrative? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
the problem with these forums is that we just get to hear one side of the story and then expect everyone else to just agree ๐Ÿคฏ it's like they're playing a game of "ICE says you were trying to run over them, but eyewitnesses say nope". can't we just have a neutral platform where we can discuss this without all the bias? or at least have a way to fact-check everything that's being said? i mean seriously, how hard is it to verify what happened in this case? ๐Ÿค”
 
OMG this is just so sad ๐Ÿค• ๐Ÿ˜ญ ... i mean we're already dealing with enough issues in this country and now this happens to an innocent mom who was trying to protect herself? what's going on?! i'm seriously worried about the family of that child, that 6 year old must be traumatized by this ๐Ÿค•๐Ÿ˜” and the fact that they claimed it was self defense but videos show otherwise... it just doesn't add up. we need more answers here and justice for Renee, not just some vague 'warning order' from the governor ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ
 
OMG yaaas ๐Ÿ˜ฑ this is like such a huge deal ๐Ÿคฏ! Renee Good was just trying to protect herself and now she's gone ๐Ÿ’” it's so not fair ๐Ÿ˜ญ ICE agents need to be held accountable for their actions ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™‚๏ธ they can't just claim self-defense when it's clear they were aggressive ๐Ÿšซ videos don't lie, you know? ๐Ÿ“น this is like a repeat of all those police brutality cases we've seen in the past ๐Ÿค• Minneapolis needs some serious healing and justice right now ๐Ÿ’– we gotta make sure Renee's family gets the answers they deserve ๐Ÿ˜ข
 
This is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿค•... Renee Good was a young mom with a whole life ahead of her, and now she's gone in an instant. I mean, can you imagine being 6 years old without your mom? It's devastating. And to think that the agent who shot her said it was self-defense, but the videos don't lie... ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ it just looks like they were trying to get out of a situation.

And what really gets me is how this incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, but at the same time, it's also bringing back all these other police brutality cases that have happened in Minneapolis. It feels like we're stuck in this never-ending cycle of tragedy and injustice. ๐Ÿ˜ฉ
 
๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿšจ This is just devastating! I'm still trying to process what happened. ICE agents are supposed to be protecting people, not taking lives. The fact that they're saying Renee was an "act of domestic terrorism" but the vids show otherwise? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ It's just not right. We need more transparency and accountability in our law enforcement systems. This incident is a stark reminder that we still have a long way to go in achieving justice and equality for all. ๐Ÿ’”
 
This whole thing is just mind-blowing ๐Ÿคฏ. Like, can't believe an ICE agent thought it was okay to shoot up Renee's car while she was driving away. And now her little kid is going to grow up without their mom. It's just heartbreaking ๐Ÿ’”. I mean, I get that the agents were scared and all, but come on, use some common sense! ๐Ÿ™„ We need to figure out what went wrong here so we can prevent it from happening again in the future. And for real, what even is an "act of domestic terrorism" when you're just trying to protect yourself? ๐Ÿ˜’ It's all so messed up...
 
Man ๐Ÿ˜ฑ this is like soooo disturbing ICE agents are supposed to protect us not hurt innocent people #JusticeForRenee #ICEaccountability ๐Ÿ’” it's crazy that they claimed self defense when the vids show otherwise ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ what were they even thinking? ๐Ÿคฏ and now her little 6yo kid is left without a mom ๐Ÿ’• it's just not right ๐Ÿ˜ข we need to keep pushing for change so this never happens again #EqualityForAll ๐Ÿ‘Š
 
๐Ÿ˜” This whole situation is just heartbreaking... Renee Good was just a mom trying to get away from some ICE officers who were approaching her on foot? It doesn't add up. The video footage clearly shows the agent firing shots while she's driving away, not in self-defense. And now this poor woman is gone ๐Ÿค•, leaving behind a 6-year-old child and a wife. I'm so angry that we're still seeing these kinds of tragedies happening, and no one seems to be holding those in power accountable for their actions. ICE officials are saying it was an "act of domestic terrorism", but eyewitnesses say otherwise... what's the truth here? ๐Ÿค” The fact-checker is gonna be keeping a close eye on this investigation ๐Ÿ‘€
