On Jan. 7, 2026, 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Good was born in Colorado Springs and had briefly lived in Kansas before recently moving to Minneapolis with her wife and her six-year-old son, whom they were raising together. She also had two older children from a previous marriage who were not living with her at the time.
Earlier on the morning of Jan. 7, the couple dropped their son off at school and drove roughly seven minutes before arriving on Portland Avenue, where the shooting would soon occur.
A resident said that several neighbors were standing watch as students were being dropped off at a nearby elementary school due to reports of ICE activity in the neighborhood.
Video footage shows Good’s Honda Pilot stopped diagonally on Portland Avenue while at least four vehicles pass perpendicularly. The footage then shows at least three masked federal agents approaching Good’s vehicle as bystanders whistle and shout at officers.
A woman who later identified herself as Good’s partner, Becca, is seen standing behind the Honda Pilot and appears confrontational with an agent.
Agents order Good to “get out of the car.” As they move toward the vehicle, the Honda Pilot is placed in reverse. The vehicle can then be seen backing up several feet, with the front wheels turned to the left. The vehicle then turns to the right and starts making its way down the street.
A federal agent standing at the front-left of the vehicle draws his firearm.
The shooting is captured in at least four videos. The first shot was fired at 9:37:13 a.m. through the front windshield toward Good. At that time, the agent’s right hand was holding his firearm, and his left hand was holding a phone, both of which were directed toward the vehicle. Approximately four-tenths of a second later, a second shot was fired as the vehicle continued to move. A third shot followed shortly after, with a total of three shots heard on camera.
After the shooting, a male voice could be heard saying, “f—–g b—h” moments before Good’s car crashed.
Minneapolis city officials have stated that Good was present as a legal observer of ICE activity. However, federal officials under the Trump administration have disputed this characterization and referred to her as a “domestic terrorist.”
The ICE agent involved in the shooting, Jonathan Ross, sustained internal torso injuries, according to two U.S. officials briefed on his condition. The severity of the injuries has not been publicly detailed, and Ross was released from the hospital later that day.
Good is survived by her wife, extended family, and her six-year-old son. The child’s father died several years earlier.
