Woman shot and killed by ICE officer identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — A woman was fatally shot by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer Wednesday morning during a federal immigration enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, officials confirmed.
The incident occurred near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue, amid what the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) described as its largest immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota’s history, involving approximately 2,000 federal agents.
The deceased has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, who was reportedly alone in her vehicle at the time of the shooting. DHS officials stated that the incident occurred after what they described as rioters obstructing ICE officers during a targeted enforcement action.
DHS alleged that Good “weaponized” her vehicle in an attempt to strike officers, prompting an ICE agent to fire in self-defense.
DHS described the shooting as a defensive response and characterized the event as “domestic terrorism.” Several ICE officers were reportedly injured during the operation, though all are expected to recover.
However, videos circulating online appear to contradict elements of the federal account.
Footage shows a dark SUV attempting to drive away from the scene when multiple shots are fired, causing bystanders to flee.
The vehicle subsequently collided with a light pole and nearby parked cars. Another video shows a woman leaning over the driver’s seat, indicating the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
Eyewitness accounts provide additional context.
Emily Heller, a resident near 33rd and Portland, told reporters she saw a vehicle blocking traffic near the intersection as part of a protest or confrontation with ICE. According to Heller:
“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car. He pulled out a gun, put it right up on the hood of the car, and then reached across and shot her in the face three or four times.”
Heller said the vehicle then accelerated roughly 100 feet before striking a utility pole and additional parked vehicles. She observed the driver slumped over in the car afterward.
Another witness, Venus DeMars, who arrived after hearing reports of federal activity near Central Elementary School, said:
“I saw them performing CPR behind a snowbank for about a minute. Then the ambulances arrived and placed her on a stretcher.”
DeMars did not witness the shooting itself and could not confirm who fired the weapon. She described the woman as white and said she appeared to be an observer rather than someone being detained.
The scene drew a large crowd of protesters and residents, some of whom engaged in confrontational behavior. Law enforcement deployed pepper spray and tear gas to maintain order. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commander Gregory Bovino was present at the scene along with numerous federal officers.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey confirmed the involvement of a federal ICE officer and criticized the federal presence in the city:
“The presence of federal immigration enforcement agents is causing chaos in our city. We’re demanding ICE leave the city immediately. We stand rock solid with our immigrant and refugee communities.”
Governor Tim Walz said his public safety team is monitoring the incident and urged residents to remain calm while additional information is gathered.
“In the meantime, I ask folks to remain calm,” Walz stated.
Authorities have not released details regarding whether body-camera or other surveillance footage is being reviewed.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not publicly reconciled video evidence with DHS’s official account.
Residents are advised to avoid the area as law enforcement continues to secure the scene and collect evidence.

Luca Hanlon, 19, Killed in Halloween Night Shooting Near CU Boulder Campus; Another Student Critically Injured
BOULDER, Colo. — What should have been a night of Halloween celebration turned into a devastating tragedy in Boulder after a shooting at a party near the University of Colorado Boulder campus claimed the life of 19-year-old student Luca Hanlon and left another student critically injured.
Hanlon, also 19, was identified as one of the victims of the shooting, which occurred on Saturday night, October 31, near the University Hill neighborhood.
According to the information provided, the shooting happened at approximately 11:28 p.m. at a residence near the intersection of Seventh and Marine streets.
The gathering was reportedly a Halloween party attended by young people in the area. However, the celebration was shattered when gunfire erupted, leaving two 19-year-old CU Boulder students wounded.
Luca Hanlon suffered fatal injuries and was killed in the shooting. Another 19-year-old student was also struck by gunfire and left in critical condition.
Halloween is traditionally a time for costumes, gatherings, and celebrations, particularly among college students. For those present that night, however, the evening became a frightening and heartbreaking experience.
The loss of a 19-year-old student is especially devastating. At an age when many young people are beginning to pursue their ambitions, build friendships, and look ahead to the future, Hanlon’s life was tragically cut short.
The shooting also left another young student fighting for their life, adding to the heartbreak surrounding the incident.
Luca Hanlon was just 19 years old. His death represents a profound loss for those who knew and loved him, as well as for the university community affected by this tragedy.
Behind every young life lost is a family, a circle of friends, and a future filled with possibilities that will never have the chance to unfold. His passing is a painful reminder of how quickly an ordinary night can change lives forever.
As the Boulder community reflects on the tragedy, thoughts remain with Hanlon’s loved ones and the injured student as they face an incredibly difficult time.
