On January 7, 2026, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good
was fatally shot by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis after returning home from dropping off her six-year-old son at school.
What began as a routine morning quickly turned deadly during an encounter with federal agents.
In the immediate aftermath, Good’s wife, covered in blood, cried, “They shot her in the head.
I have a 6-year-old in school.” Family and neighbors described Good as a compassionate mother and creative spirit.
Her mother said, “Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known…
She was an amazing human being.”
ICE claimed Good “weaponized her vehicle,” saying an officer fired because he feared for his life.
Witnesses and video accounts disputed that narrative, fueling outrage and calls for accountability.
Community leaders emphasized remembering Good for her humanity, not the circumstances of her death.
