MINNEAPOLIS — City officials have identified the woman who was tragically shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent on Wednesday morning as Renee Nicole Good.

The incident unfolded in a residential area of Minneapolis, where federal immigration agents were carrying out a large-scale operation. Governor Tim Walz provided details about the operation, which resulted in the fatal shooting.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Minneapolis County Council confirmed the identity of the 37-year-old woman. Good’s family, residing in the Colorado Springs area, also verified her identity to KUSA.

In a statement earlier that day, Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara indicated that Good did not seem to be the intended target of the law enforcement action.

The City Council expressed their condolences, noting that Good was “out caring for her neighbors” at the time of the shooting.

The Minneapolis City Council released a statement saying Good was “out caring for her neighbors” when she was killed.

“This morning an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a member of our community” the statement says in part, KARE11 reports. “Renee was a resident of our city who was out caring for her neighbors this morning and her life was taken today at the hands of the federal government. Anyone who kills someone in our city deserves to be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

In social media accounts, Macklin Good said she was a “Poet and writer and wife and mom” originally from Colorado but “experiencing Minnesota.” A profile picture shows her smiling and holding a young child against her cheek.

O’Hara said the woman was in her vehicle, which was blocking the street. Video circulating on social media shows ICE agents approaching the car on foot and the woman beginning to drive away as an agent yanks on her door handle. At least two shots were fired into the vehicle, which then crashed.

In a video from the scene of the shooting posted to social media, a distraught woman is seen sitting near the vehicle crying, describing Macklin Good as her spouse and saying that they had a 6-year-old child.

“That’s my wife, I don’t know what to do!” wailed the woman, who wasn’t identified.

A red SUV was visible at the scene with a bullet hole through the driver’s side windshield. The SUV was smashed into a light pole, with two damaged cars parked nearby, KARE11 reported. 

O’Hare said that the woman was taken to a hospital, and her spouse has arrived there.

“This is a very tragic situation where a woman lost her life.” O’Hara said.

DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement the woman was among a group of protesters and attempted to hit ICE agents with her vehicle “in an attempt to kill them.” She said an ICE agent fired shots at the woman, who was hit and killed.

Videos, appearing to show the moments leading up to and after an ICE agent shot the driver, began circulating on social media Wednesday afternoon.

In the videos, a red Honda Pilot is seen idling, blocking the roadway with the driver’s side window down. ICE agents approach in a truck, step out and approach the vehicle, telling the driver to get out, using an expletive. 

One of the agents begins pulling on the handle of the SUV.

The driver appears to slowly back up, turn to the right and move forward before accelerating. As the driver begins accelerating, at least two gunshots can be heard.

The car continues accelerating for a moment before crashing into a parked car a short way down the street.

ICE agents were near the front driver’s side fender when the driver attempted to accelerate away.

Frey said he viewed the video and said it did not appear the driver was trying to hit ICE agents.

ICE agents who were injured are expected to make a full recovery, McLaughlin said. She did not say how many agents were injured or what their injuries are.

DHS said on Tuesday that it had launched an immigration enforcement operation with 2,000 agents, tied in part to allegations of fraud involving Somali residents.

The Immigration Defense Network, a coalition of groups serving immigrants in Minnesota, held a training session Tuesday night for about 100 people who are willing to hit the streets to monitor the federal enforcement.
