A woman shot dead by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota has been named as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
Good was named by her mother Donna Ganger, who spoke to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Wednesday afternoon.
'That’s so stupid', Ganger said of her daughter's death. 'She was probably terrified.' Ganger also insisted Good was 'not part of anything like that,' referring to protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where Good was killed.
Good was a poet and mother of three children who grew up in Colorado Springs. She was married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin who died in 2023 and now lives in Minneapolis with her partner, whose named has not been shared.
Good was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she ignored ICE agents' demands to get out of her car, reversed it and tried to drive off.
ICE claimed she deliberately drove her burgundy SUV at agents but witnesses dispute that and Mayor Jacob Frey called it 'bulls**t'.
Video shared online captured a woman speaking to a distressed onlooker who claimed to be Good's wife, while adding that she had a six-year-old child.
'That's my wife, I don't know what to do,' the onlooker wailed hysterically.
The man filming the video asked if the screaming woman was with the woman who was killed, and if she had any friends who could help.
'That's my wife... [unintelligible]... I have a six-year-old at school... we're new here we don't have anyone,' came the reply.
The frantic onlooker could also be heard to scream: 'We need a doctor.'
