A Local Woman's Life Cut Short: Tragic Shooting in Minneapolis Leaves Family, Community Reeling
In a devastating turn of events, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, a devoted mother of three and poet, was tragically shot and killed by an ICE agent on Wednesday in Minneapolis. The 37-year-old woman, who had recently moved to Minnesota from Kansas City, Missouri, was simply trying to drive home with her partner after dropping off her 6-year-old son at school when she encountered the group of agents.
Eyewitnesses claim that Good's car was stopped by an ICE officer, who demanded she open the door and grabbed the handle. When she attempted to pull away, another agent pulled his gun and fired multiple shots into the vehicle at close range. The harrowing video footage shows a distraught woman wailing in despair near the scene, frantically searching for her loved ones.
The ICE administration has falsely portrayed Macklin Good as a domestic terrorist who had attempted to ram federal agents with her car. However, those closest to her, including her ex-husband and mother, Donna Ganger, have painted a vastly different picture of a kind-hearted woman who lived life to the fullest. A devoted Christian who participated in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland, Good was an avid poet and writer who loved to sing and perform.
Despite her untimely death, Macklin Good's love for her children, partner, and community will be remembered through the countless lives she touched. Her family has released no statement, but her ex-husband shared a poignant description of her as "one of the kindest people I've ever known." The outpouring of grief from friends, family, and strangers alike is a testament to Good's profound impact on those around her.
This tragic incident highlights the need for greater transparency and accountability within law enforcement agencies. As we mourn the loss of this innocent woman, it is essential that we come together to ensure justice is served and that such senseless violence is never repeated.

... Renee Macklin was just trying to drive home after dropping off her kid at school & then ICE agents came out of nowhere & started shooting at her car! what even is the deal with ICE? they're supposed to be helping people not hurting them. I feel so bad for her family, especially her kids who will never get to see their mom again 
... and to make matters worse, those ICE agents were lying about what happened too 
... it's just heartbreaking how this woman was taken from us in such a senseless way 
. It's so frustrating that the ICE administration is trying to spin this story in a way that's just not true - it's like they're blaming her for being herself 
.
. We can't keep letting violence like this happen and just sweep it under the rug 
.
. That's what we need more of - love, kindness, and compassion for one another 
.
. Can't we just focus on the facts for once? Like, let's be real, this woman was just minding her own biz driving home and BAM! ICE agent pulls a gun on her. What even is the point of having agents in plain sight if they're gonna be reckless like that?
. It's just so senseless, you know? She was a good person, a devoted mom and partner... how can someone do this to an innocent woman like that? 
. and now her family is left to pick up the pieces and try to make sense of it all... i hope they get some justice soon 
. it makes me think of when my grandma used to tell me about how the world just wasn't as safe back in the day, you know? like, people were always talking about the "bad old days" 
. but now we're living in these new times and stuff is still happening... its just so frustrating 
, maybe she was a threat they didn't know about, don't wanna jump to conclusions, you know? sounds to me like the agent acted in self-defense, doesn't mean he didn't make a mistake tho, shoulda called in backup or somethin' 
this just feels like another heartbreaking example of how our society can be so quick to jump to conclusions and label people with negative intentions... Renee's ex-husband was quoted saying she was one of the kindest people he's ever known, yet we're supposed to believe she's a domestic terrorist? 
They're supposed to be protecting us, not making our lives more stressful every time we step into our own car. And the fact that they fabricated a whole different story about Renee just because she didn't play by their rules is just sickening. It's like they think they're above the law or something. I mean, what even is domestic terrorism? Sounds like some made-up excuse to me... 
. Renee's life was literally cut short by an overzealous ICE agent who had no right to harm her like that 
. Can you believe the administration's spin on this? Like, really? They're blaming her for trying to escape from them?! No way, Jose 
. It's clear they didn't have a reason to be there in the first place 
.
. She wasn't some domestic terrorist trying to harm anyone 
. We need better transparency and accountability from our law enforcement agencies, pronto! 
! We need to know the truth about what really happened here - was this woman really trying to harm anyone or was she just a innocent victim caught up in a system gone wrong? 
...
. her story is a perfect example of how our society is failing its own people - who tries to drive away from agents just to protect their family? 
ICE needs to get their act together & start prioritizing human lives over 'law enforcement' 
The fact that she was just trying to live her life as a poet, writer, singer, and mom is just heartbreaking. We should all be talking about how to prevent these types of tragedies from happening in the future 
. Justice for Renee Macklin Good 
. My heart goes out to her family and community... may they find peace
