Renee Nicole Good wasn’t alone in her car when she was fatally shot
New details have emerged regarding the final morning of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. These facts deepen the tragedy of a case that has provoked national outrage.
On a snowy morning, Good was driving home after dropping her six-year-old son at school. Her partner and their dog were in the car, marking an ordinary family moment.
That routine shattered when they encountered ICE agents. New cellphone video, reportedly recorded by the agent who fired, shows the confrontation.
In the footage, Good remains calm, telling an officer, “I’m not mad at you.” Her partner is heard challenging the agents and recording with her phone.
The situation escalates as another officer shouts for Good to exit the vehicle. The SUV moves, the recording agent shouts, and gunshots are fired.
The car crashes shortly after. Good’s partner is later heard screaming that her wife was shot in the head, lamenting that their child is at school.
Officials claim self-defense, stating Good “weaponized” her vehicle. This is contested by witnesses and leaders who say the video contradicts that account.
Those who knew Good describe a kind poet and devoted mother, a person who believed in compassion. Her life, defined by creativity and connection, ended abruptly in her own neighborhood, leaving a family and community seeking answers.
