Renee Nicole Good's family hires George Floyd legal team for civil investigation after fatal ICE shooting
Share this @internewscast.com

The family of Renee Nicole Good, who was tragically shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis last week, has secured legal representation from the same firm that previously advocated for George Floyd’s family. This move marks the beginning of a new civil investigation, as announced on Wednesday.

Romanucci & Blandin, a law firm based in Chicago, confirmed their representation of Good’s family through a news release.

The firm’s founding partner, Antonio M. Romanucci, is taking on the case on behalf of Good’s partner, Becca Good, as well as her parents, Tim and Donna Ganger, and her siblings, according to the release.

“People in Minneapolis and across the nation are deeply concerned about the events surrounding Renee Good’s death on January 7, 2026,” Romanucci stated. “They are determined to uncover the truth about how she could have lost her life on the street after simply dropping her child off at school.”

In a notable precedent, the firm had previously represented George Floyd’s family, leading to a historic $27 million settlement in 2020. This settlement is recognized as one of the largest pre-trial settlements in a civil rights wrongful death case in the United States, as noted in a 2021 news release from the firm.

The firm has also represented the family of Sonya Massey, a woman who was killed by a police officer in her home in Springfield, Illinois, in 2024. 

The case ended in a $10 million settlement against the Sangamon County, Illinois Sheriff’s Department.

Attorney Kevin Riach from The Law Office of Kevin C. Riach in Minneapolis is serving as co-counsel.

“We are committed to providing Good transparency and Good accountability, which we ultimately hope leads to Good policing. We will be that voice,” Romanucci said.

The civil litigation team follows a different process than filing a civil lawsuit, since the case involves law enforcement, according to the release.

“[L]egal action against the federal government is even more complex, as it requires victims to navigate the byzantine, time-consuming processes mandated by the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA),” Romanucci said.

A lawsuit filed in court is then argued in front of a federal judge, rather than a jury, Romanucci said.

Good’s parents described her as the “beautiful light of [their] family,” with a “seemingly infinite capacity for love,” in a statement shared with Fox News Digital by Romanucci & Blandin.

“The kind of unending care we’ve been given during this time is exactly the kind that she gave to everyone,” wrote Tim and Donna in the statement. “She was our protector, our shoulder to cry on, and our scintillating source of joy. She edited all of our writing, and we feel her absence deeply as we struggle to compose this statement without her gentle guidance.

“When we remember Nae, we remember her abundant heart, and we will move forward imitating that unending care.”

Good was shot and killed by a federal agent in Minneapolis on Jan. 7, during an ICE enforcement operation, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 

DHS said agents were attempting to make arrests when Good allegedly tried to use her vehicle as a weapon against officers.

Romanucci & Blandin and DHS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
