Renee Good's family hires George Floyd law firm to investigate Minneapolis ICE shooting
Share and Follow


Renee Good’s family is alleging that federal immigration officials are responsible for the death of the Minneapolis mother of three, asserting she was complying with their directives at the time. On Wednesday, they announced the engagement of the same legal team that represented George Floyd’s family, aiming to seek clarity and accountability in the case.

In a statement, her family expressed a desire for Good, aged 37, to be remembered as “an agent of peace,” urging against her death being used as a tool for political agendas. This sentiment was conveyed by Romanucci & Blandin, a legal firm based in Chicago, which has initiated an investigation into the circumstances of Good’s death and plans to disclose their findings in the upcoming weeks.

The family’s decision to enlist the firm comes in the wake of the U.S. Justice Department’s announcement that it finds no grounds for launching a federal civil rights probe into the shooting incident. Meanwhile, an FBI investigation into the death of Renee Good is still in progress.

This week saw the resignation of about six federal prosecutors in Minnesota, accompanied by the departure of several senior officials from the Civil Rights Division’s criminal section in Washington, as reported by sources familiar with the situation.

The Trump administration has stood by the actions of the ICE officer involved, asserting that he acted in self-defense as he was positioned in front of Good’s vehicle, which purportedly began moving towards him. However, this justification has been criticized by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and other voices, particularly in light of video footage capturing the incident.

Romanucci & Blandin said the family wants answers about the federal officers were doing on Jan. 7 in the neighborhood where Good was killed, as well as officers’ actions during the encounter and delays in medical aid after the shooting. The ICE agent who fired is Jonathan Ross, an Iraq War veteran who has served as a deportation officer since 2015.

Good’s partner, Becca Good, and other relatives say on Jan. 7 the couple had just dropped off their 6-year-old child at school and stopped to observe the law enforcement activity. Video shows a red SUV driven by Renee sitting perpendicular and blocking part of the road. She is pressing the horn repeatedly.

A short time later, a truck carrying immigration officers pulls up, two get out and one of them orders Renee Good to open her door. She reverses briefly, then turns the steering wheel toward the passenger side as the officer says again, “get out of the car.” Almost simultaneously, Becca, standing on the passenger side and trying to open the door, shouts, “drive, baby, drive!”

The SUV pulls forward and gunshots are heard as an officer who in front of the vehicle opens fire.

“What happened to Renee is wrong,” the firm said, adding that they intend to share their findings “on a rolling basis” because they believe the community is not receiving adequate information elsewhere. The firm, which helped secure a $27 million settlement for Floyd’s family, is now representing Becca Good as well as Renee Good’s parents and siblings.

Becca Good has referred to Renee as her wife. The law firm said Renee and Becca were “not legally married but were committed partners dedicated to their family.”
