The death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother and longtime community member, has sparked widespread concern and calls for accountability throughout Minnesota and across the country. Good was fatally shot on the morning of January 7, 2026, during a federal law-enforcement operation in south Minneapolis. Family members say she had just dropped her six-year-old son off at school when she noticed activity connected to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement operation nearby and stopped to observe. What happened next has left her neighborhood in mourning and raised serious questions about how federal enforcement actions are carried out in residential areas where families live and children attend school.
Elected officials at the state and local level responded swiftly. Ilhan Omar said Good was acting as a legal observer, a civilian role meant to monitor government activity and promote transparency. Omar called for a full and independent investigation, emphasizing that public trust depends on clear answers and accountability when force is used.
