A mother-of-three has been fatally shot by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, with the aftermath captured in a harrowing video showing her blood-covered wife crying in the street.
A Tragic Morning Turned Deadly
Renee Nicole Good, 37, had just dropped her six-year-old son at school on the morning of Wednesday, 8 January 2026, when the incident occurred. Footage from the scene shows two ICE agents approaching her vehicle and ordering her to exit. As she reversed her car and began to turn, a third agent arrived and opened fire.
At least three gunshots are audible in videos posted on social media. The car then sped down the street before crashing into a parked vehicle. Renee's body was later recovered from the scene. The FBI has now launched an investigation into the shooting and the events that led to it.
Heartbreaking Aftermath and Political Firestorm
In the immediate aftermath, a woman believed to be Renee's wife was seen sitting on the icy ground, visibly distressed and covered in blood. "I made her come here, it's my fault," she cried, just yards from patrolling ICE agents. "They shot her in the head. I have a six-year-old in school."
The shooting has ignited a fierce political debate. Republican President Donald Trump, who deployed hundreds of ICE agents to the Democrat stronghold of Minneapolis as part of a crackdown on illegal immigration, defended the agent's actions. He claimed Renee was a "professional agitator" who "wilfully" ran over an officer, though no evidence has emerged to support this.
In contrast, Minneapolis' Democrat Mayor Jacob Frey launched a furious tirade, demanding ICE "get the f*** out of Minneapolis." He argued the agency was not present "to cause safety in this city" but was instead "causing chaos and distrust."
Questions Over Training and Legality
The killing has sparked nationwide outrage, with officials questioning the legality of the shooting and the level of training ICE agents receive for tense situations. Video footage from multiple angles appears to show Renee moving her car from a stationary position as an agent banged on her window. It remains unclear whether she intentionally advanced toward an officer or was attempting to avoid him.
Renee, who described herself online as a "poet and writer and wife and mum," had recently moved to Minneapolis. Her ex-husband confirmed she was on a routine school run when her life was tragically cut short. The incident continues to fuel protests and intense scrutiny over US immigration enforcement tactics.
