MINNEAPOLIS \u2013 Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has characterized the fatal shooting of a Minneapolis woman<\/a> by federal agents as an “act of domestic terrorism,” alleging the driver had been “stalking, impeding, and blocking” ICE officers for hours leading up to the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Video from the scene<\/a> shows Renee Good’s wife, Rebecca Brown Good, in distress immediately after the shooting, saying that she encouraged Renee to attend the location where ICE agents were operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the video, taken by BIGSLEEZ YUP, she can be heard saying, “I made her come down here. It\u2019s my fault.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Noem and President Donald Trump have framed Good<\/a> as a “professional agitator” intent on harming agents, family members are disputing that characterization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renee Good\u2019s mother, Donna Ganger, told the Minneapolis Star Tribune<\/a> that Renee “would never have been part of anything like that” and described her as compassionate and non-confrontational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renee Good had ties to an organized anti-ICE network in Minneapolis that trains participants to monitor and interfere with federal immigration enforcement operations, the New York Post reported.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Post, Good became involved with a group known as “ICE Watch,” a loose coalition dedicated to documenting and disrupting ICE activity in the sanctuary city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar ICE Watch-style networks have emerged nationwide and have previously been linked to confrontations with federal agents, including incidents involving vehicles used to block or strike officers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Post reported that Good became connected to the group through her son\u2019s charter school, Southside Family Charter School, which publicly promotes a “social justice” curriculum and involvement in political activism. Multiple sources told the outlet that Good received training on how to engage with ICE officers during enforcement actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman identified as Leesa told the Post at a vigil held at the shooting site that Good was a “warrior.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“She was trained against these ICE agents,” Leesa said. “To listen to commands, to know your rights, to whistle when you see an ICE agent.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another vigil attendee told the Post that Good was part of a coordinated “ICE Watch” team and that members routinely spent time together outside of enforcement actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southside Family Charter School\u2019s website states that it offers “an academically challenging, socially conscious education” and describes its curriculum as centered on social justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Video circulating online<\/a> shows an ICE officer approaching the stopped SUV and attempting to open the driver\u2019s door before the vehicle moves forward. Another officer standing in front of the vehicle then fires multiple shots at close range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Alert 4<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the fatal encounter, the couple managed B. Good Handywork LLC, a household repair business incorporated in early 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The business was registered to a residential address in Kansas City, Missouri,<\/a> 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\u2019 homes.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to court records obtained by WDAF,<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The filing also noted that she was the mother of three children under the age of 18, including one child she shared with Macklin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
