A fatal split-second decision by a federal officer has ignited outrage, reopened old wounds, and plunged a city already scarred by police violence back into crisis.
The streets of South Minneapolis were once again stained by violence as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer fatally shot a 37-year-old woman, igniting fury, fear, and haunting memories just blocks from where George Floyd was killed nearly six years ago.
Renee Nicole Good was rushed to a local hospital after being shot near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue on Wednesday, January 7. She died shortly after, leaving behind a devastated family, a grieving community, and a swirl of controversy.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the driver of one vehicle, allegedly Good, tried to “weaponize her vehicle” against officers. The department doubled down, branding the incident “domestic terrorism” and insisting the officer opened fire in self-defense.
