The woman shot dead by a federal immigration agent in Minneapolis has been spot out as Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three who had just moved to the city,she was a prize winning poet and a hobby guitarist, who city leaders have said was there as a legal spectator of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities, but the Trump administration has called her a “domestic terrorist.
Her mother, Donna Ganger, was told that her daughter was probably terrified” during the confrontation with officers that saw her fatally shot and that she was “one of the kindest people I’ve ever known.
“She was extremely compassionate,” Ganger told the daily newspaper. “She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being”,her father, Tim Ganger, told the Washington Post that “she had a good life, but a hard life”.
A fundraiser for Good’s family, which was set up with a target of $50,000 (£37,000), raised more than $500,000 in 15 hours.
Authorities have stated that additional information will be released once the investigation progresses. No further details about Good or the officers involved have been made public at this time.
As the investigation continues, community members have begun organizing vigils and discussions focused on accountability, public safety, and the broader impact of federal enforcement actions in local neighborhoods.
Anyone with further information which is related to the incident has been encouraged to contact investigators.
