Distraught woman says ICE killed her wife in video after deadly Minneapolis shootinghttps://www.advocate.com/news/minnesota-ice-killed-wife 🔗Christopher Wiggins (7 Jan 2026)
A Minnesota woman sitting in the snow with her dog told a person filming her that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had just shot and killed her wife — now identified as Renee Nicole Good, 37 — according to newly circulating video that has intensified scrutiny of a fatal federal shooting during a sweeping immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis on Wednesday.
"They killed my wife. I don't know what to do," the woman says through sobs in the footage, with a damaged SUV visible in the distance behind her. "We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head," the woman cries.
Good was identified late Wednesday by her mother, Donna Ganger, who told the Minnesota Star Tribune that her daughter lived in the Twin Cities with her partner and was not involved in protests or any activity confronting ICE agents. Ganger said her family was notified of the death late Wednesday morning.
"She was probably terrified," Ganger told the paper. "Renee was one of the kindest people I've ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being."
DHS has said that "rioters began blocking ICE officers" during what it called "targeted operations," alleging that one person "weaponized" a vehicle, prompting an agent to fire what the agency described as "defensive shots." The department characterized the killing as an act of self-defense and labeled the incident "domestic terrorism."
