"A woman shot dead by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota has been named as 37-year-old poet Renee Nicole Good.
"The mother-of-three was named by her mother Donna Ganger, who spoke to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune on Wednesday afternoon
"The grieving mom denied reports Good would have been 'part of anything like' the protests against ICE that were taking place at the location where she was killed.
" 'That's so stupid,' she said. 'Renee was one of the kindest people I've ever known.
" 'She was extremely compassionate. She's taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.'
"Good was a poet and mother of three children who grew up in Colorado Springs. She was married to a comedian named Timothy Macklin who died in 2023 and now lives in Minneapolis with her partner, whose named has not been shared.
"She and Macklin had one child together, a six-year-old son, who is now orphaned. His paternal grandfather told the publication 'there's nobody else in his life.
'I'll drive. I'll fly. To come and get my grandchild.'
"Good was shot three times in the face at a protest in Minneapolis on Wednesday after she ignored ICE agents' demands to get out of her car, reversed it and tried to drive off." . . . More
