MINNEAPOLIS – Kristi Noem, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has labeled the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman by federal agents as “domestic terrorism.” According to Noem, the woman had allegedly spent hours “stalking, impeding, and blocking” ICE officers before the incident occurred.

Video footage captured at the scene shows a distressed Rebecca Brown Good, the wife of the deceased, Renee Good. In the clip, Rebecca is heard lamenting her involvement, admitting that she urged Renee to join her at the site where ICE agents were present.

In a video filmed by BIGSLEEZ YUP, Rebecca can be overheard saying, “I made her come down here. It’s my fault.”

Despite Noem and President Donald Trump’s portrayal of Renee Good as a “professional agitator” with intentions to harm agents, her family strongly contests this narrative.

Donna Ganger, Renee’s mother, shared with the Minneapolis Star Tribune that her daughter “would never have been part of anything like that,” describing Renee as both compassionate and non-confrontational.

The shooting occurred after a vehicle driven by Good allegedly moved toward agents, leading to what DHS describes as a shooting in “self-defense.”

Video circulating online shows an ICE officer approaching the stopped SUV and attempting to open the driver’s door before the vehicle moves forward. Another officer standing in front of the vehicle then fires multiple shots at close range.

First Alert 4 in St. Louis confirmed with the Missouri Department of Revenue that the Missouri license plate on the red Honda Pilot driven by Renee Good at the time of the incident was registered to two people in Kansas City.

Former neighbors told local media outlets that the couple relocated multiple times over the past year, including a reported move to Canada following the 2024 presidential election, before later settling in Minneapolis.

Renee Nicole Macklin Good was previously married to Timothy Macklin Jr., a comedian who died in May 2023, according to an obituary reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Before the fatal encounter, the couple managed B. Good Handywork LLC, a household repair business incorporated in early 2024.

According to Missouri business filings, B. Good Handywork LLC was formally incorporated by Rebecca Brown Good in 2024. Corporate records list both Rebecca Brown Good and Renee Nicole Macklin Good as managers of the company.

The business was registered to a residential address in Kansas City, Missouri, where the couple previously lived, writing that the purpose of the small business was to “perform interior and exterior repair, maintenances, and upgrade projects in clients’ homes.”

According to court records obtained by WDAF, Renee filed a name change petition at the Jackson County Courthouse in Missouri roughly five months after Macklin’s death, writing that she wished to add “Good” to her last name to “share a name with my partner.”

The filing also noted that she was the mother of three children under the age of 18, including one child she shared with Macklin.
