Minneapolis Vigil Gathers After Renee Good Fatally Shot by ICE Agent
Renee Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot during ICE raids in Minneapolis, sparking a massive vigil and demands for justice.
Renee Nicole Good, 37, was fatally shot on January 7 after dropping her 6-year-old off at school on Portland Ave. in Minneapolis, during a large ICE enforcement operation.
Her wife Becca Good released a statement: "We stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns." The shooting unfolded as federal agents swept the city in a high-profile operation that drew neighbors to the scene and sparked immediate outrage and concern about safety and accountability.
A vigil on the snowy block where Good died grew into a mass gathering, with thousands lining the street, holding candles and voices rising above the cold night. Protesters carried signs and chanted phrases like "Say her name" and "No justice, no peace!" while demanding answers from authorities and calling for reforms in immigration enforcement.
The community emphasized that Good was a mother of three and wife, a familiar presence in the neighborhood, and that her death has left a void for many who knew her. The vigil turned into a living reckoning, as residents shared stories and offered prayers, even as some called for calm amid the tension surrounding the raids.
City leaders and neighbors say the incident highlights broader questions about civilian safety during rapid enforcement operations. As the investigation moves forward, residents promise to keep pressuring for transparency and accountability, insisting that stories like Good's should never be forgotten.
