Wife of Renee Good Speaks Out After Fatal ICE Shooting in Minneapolis

Becca Good, the wife of Renee Good, has publicly addressed the fatal shooting of her spouse by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. In a statement provided to Minnesota Public Radio, Becca described Renee as a person who "lived by an overarching belief: there is kindness in the world and we need to do everything we can to find it where it resides and nurture it where it needs to grow."

The incident occurred on January 7, 2026, when 37-year-old Renee Good was shot in her vehicle by an ICE agent during an operation in Minneapolis. Federal officials claim that Renee attempted to run over an agent with her car, a characterization disputed by local authorities and witnesses.

Becca emphasized the peaceful intentions of their actions that day, stating, "We had whistles. They had guns." She portrayed Renee as a compassionate individual guided by faith and a belief in shared humanity, noting that Renee was a Christian who believed "we are here to love each other, care for each other, and keep each other safe and whole."

The couple had recently moved to Minneapolis with Renee's 6-year-old son from a previous marriage. Becca expressed her commitment to raising their son with the values Renee embodied, emphasizing compassion over fear and anger.

Renee Good was a U.S. citizen born in Colorado, with no criminal record beyond a single traffic ticket. She described herself on social media as a "poet and writer and wife and mom."

The shooting has sparked widespread protests and calls for transparency in the investigation. Local officials and community members have expressed outrage over the incident, demanding accountability and a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding Renee Good's death.
