Family members emphasized that Good was not involved in protest activity and described her as a devoted mother, writer, and creative spirit. She had studied creative writing and received recognition for her poetry while attending university.

Neighbors also shared memories of Good as a warm presence in the community, often seen spending time with her young son. Friends described her home as welcoming and her parenting as attentive and loving.

Statement From Her Widow

Good’s widow, Becca, released a statement through local media thanking people across the country for their support.

She described her wife as someone whose kindness was immediately noticeable and said that Good believed deeply in compassion, faith, and caring for others. The family, she said, is focused on supporting the children as they cope with the loss.

Conflicting Accounts Remain

The shooting occurred near the intersection of 34th Street and Portland Avenue. Video footage and witness statements suggest Good was attempting to leave the area when shots were fired. The Department of Homeland Security has stated that officers believed the vehicle was being used in a threatening manner, a claim that remains disputed by some witnesses and community members.

Investigations into the incident are ongoing.

About the Officer Involved

The ICE agent who fired the fatal shots has been identified as Jonathan E. Ross, a veteran federal officer assigned to ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Special Response Team. Ross has served with ICE for approximately a decade and has prior military and law-enforcement experience.

Federal records indicate Ross had previously been injured in a separate on-duty incident months earlier and later returned to active service. ICE officials have stated that the shooting is being reviewed under standard protocols.

A Case Under Review

As investigations continue, Good’s death has sparked widespread discussion about law-enforcement practices, accountability, and the human impact of enforcement operations. For her family and community, the focus remains on remembering her life rather than defining her solely by the circumstances of her death.
