Minneapolis witnessed a shocking incident this week as Renee Good, 37, was shot and killed by a federal immigration agent while she was in her car. On the day of the shooting, Good and her wife had stopped their vehicle to offer support to their neighbors. Rebecca Good, in her first public statement since the tragedy, described her late wife as a beacon of kindness and love.
'We had whistles. They had guns,' Rebecca remarked, underscoring the stark contrast between their peaceful intentions and the aggression faced by her wife. The incident unfolded when ICE officers surrounded Good's vehicle on a snowy street, leading to a confrontation that quickly escalated. Despite the portrayal by some officials suggesting that Good posed a threat, local advocates and community members have voiced strong opposition to this narrative.
Rebecca Good provided a moving tribute to her wife, highlighting her spirit and the values they shared as a family. 'Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled,' she said, emphasizing her joy and love for life.
Reflecting on their life together, Rebecca added that they strived to teach their son compassion and understanding, regardless of the fears that some may hold. 'The people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.'
As the community mourns this tragic loss, calls for justice and reflection on the actions of federal agencies continue to grow. Renee Good is remembered not as a threat, but as a loving mother and advocate for kindness in a world that often seems divisive.
