Her death has shocked the community and drawn renewed scrutiny to federal immigration enforcement operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good\u2019s mother, <strong>Donna Ganger<\/strong>, spoke to the <em>Minneapolis Star-Tribune<\/em>, describing her daughter as \u201cprobably terrified\u201d in her final moments. She strongly denied rumors linking Good to the ongoing ICE protests at the scene of the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s so stupid,\u201d Ganger said. \u201cRenee was one of the kindest people I\u2019ve ever known. She was compassionate, loving, forgiving, and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Born and raised in Colorado Springs, Good pursued her passion for poetry while also raising three children. She was previously married to comedian <strong>Timothy Macklin<\/strong>, who passed away in 2023, and had one child with him, a six-year-old son. After Macklin\u2019s death, her son became effectively parentless on his father\u2019s side, with his grandfather telling the press, <em>\u201cThere\u2019s nobody else in his life. I\u2019ll drive. I\u2019ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good lived in Minneapolis with her partner, whose name has not been released. According to authorities, the fatal incident occurred Wednesday during an ICE enforcement operation. Video and official reports indicate that Good ignored agents\u2019 orders to exit her vehicle, reversed, and attempted to drive away. She was shot three times in the face, dying at the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following footage shows the incident. Viewer discretion is advised.
