Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in January 2026 in Minneapolis. Disputed reports exist regarding whether she and her wife, Becca Good, were "stalking and impeding" ICE activities or acting as legal observers at the time, but neither were charged with crimes in connection with the incident.
Overview of the Incident
*Renee Good was a 37-year-old mother and U.S. citizen. She was part of a local group known as "ICE Watch" which trains participants to document and sometimes disrupt ICE activity.
*On the morning of the shooting, Renee and Becca Good encountered ICE agents conducting an operation. They stopped their vehicle in the street, and Becca exited to record the agents with her phone.
*The situation escalated when federal agents ordered Renee to exit the car. Video footage and witness accounts of what happened next are disputed, with some suggesting she was trying to drive away and others claiming she "weaponized her vehicle" to try to run over an agent. An agent, identified in court documents as Jonathan Ross, then fired shots into the vehicle, killing Renee.
Allegations of Criminal Activity
*Renee Good: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged that Renee's actions were an "act of domestic terrorism" and that she tried to kill federal officers. However, local officials, including the Minneapolis Mayor and Minnesota Attorney General, rejected this characterization and described her as a "compassionate neighbor" acting as a legal observer. No criminal charges were filed against Renee because she was killed in the incident.
*Becca Good: Becca was at the scene and a witness to the shooting, later expressing guilt for asking her wife to come down to the scene. Authorities have not indicated that she faces any charges related to the incident.
The incident and the differing narratives from federal and local authorities have sparked a federal and local investigation.
