A GoFundMe campaign for Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old mother of three shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, has raised more than $1.5 million. The fundraiser, which initially aimed for $50,000, was closed on Friday after receiving donations from approximately 38,500 contributors.
The funds will be placed in a trust for Good's family, according to the campaign page. Organisers expressed gratitude, stating: 'We are here brokenhearted and in awe of your generosity.' Good's widow, Rebecca Good, who witnessed the killing, said the kindness of strangers is 'the most fitting tribute' for Renee.
The incident occurred on Wednesday when federal agents conducted an immigration sweep in Minneapolis. Video footage shows Good behind the wheel of a car, saying 'I'm not mad at you' before an ICE officer demanded she open her door. As she drove forward slowly, brushing past an officer, another agent, identified as Jonathan E Ross, shot her multiple times. A voice on the video is heard saying: 'Fucking bitch.'
Ross had previously been dragged by a vehicle in June while arresting an undocumented immigrant with a criminal conviction for sexual assault. Minnesota officials, including Mayor Jacob Frey, have criticised the Trump administration's narrative that Good was engaging in domestic terrorism. Thousands have protested near the site, which is less than a mile from where George Floyd was murdered in 2020.
