The Minnesota Star Tribune reports the woman shot in the face and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota on Wednesday was a widow with a young son.
“[Renee Nicole] Good had previously been married to Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., who died in 2023 at the age of 37,” reports the Star Tribune. “Macklin’s father, Timmy Ray Macklin Sr., was shocked to hear the news that Good had been shot and killed.”
“There’s nobody else in his life,” said Macklin Sr. “I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.”
Good’s mother, Donna Ganger, said the family was notified of the death late Wednesday morning.
“That’s so stupid” that she was killed, Ganger told reporters. “She was probably terrified.”
Department of Homeland Security head Kristi Noem called Good a domestic terrorist and accused her of being one of several “rioters” blocking ICE agents with her car and allegedly trying to run them over.
Ganger said her daughter is “not part of anything like that at all,” referring to the people protesting ICE in Minneapolis.
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” said Ganger. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
