Woman Fatally Shot by ICE Officer in Minneapolis Identified by Family and City Leaders
The 37-year-old woman who was fatally shot by an ICE officer during a traffic stop in Minneapolis on Wednesday has been identified as Renee Nicole Good, according to the Minneapolis City Council and her family.
Good, a mother and community member, was described by family and local leaders as someone who was “out caring for her neighbors” at the time of the incident. The shooting occurred south of downtown Minneapolis during a traffic stop connected to a recent federal operation in the area, according to earlier reports by the Associated Press.
Bystander videos circulating online show an officer approaching an SUV stopped across the middle of the roadway and demanding that the driver open the door while grabbing the handle. As the vehicle began to pull forward, a second ICE officer standing in front of the SUV drew his weapon and fired at least two shots into the vehicle at close range, stepping back as it moved.
It was not immediately clear from the video footage whether the vehicle struck the officer. The SUV then continued forward, striking two parked vehicles along a curb before coming to a stop. Witnesses can be heard shouting in shock following the gunfire.
Emergency medical technicians attempted to provide lifesaving aid to Good at the scene, but she later died from her injuries. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the shooting “reckless,” stating it did not appear to be an act of self-defense. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
