ICE Shooting Victim's GoFundMe Raises Nearly $1M Amid Protests

A day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, Minnesota, a GoFundMe campaign set up in her name has raised close to $1 million. This comes amid ever-growing tensions between both sides of the political spectrum, caused by the tragic loss of life.

The fundraiser in question aims to support Good's wife and son, who have experienced the "devastating loss of their wife and mother." Mattie Weiss, who is organizing the GoFundMe, called the 37-year-old woman "pure sunshine, pure love."

As of the writing of this article, the fundraiser has received more than $900,000 in donations, far exceeding its original goal of $50,000.

According to the Associated Press (AP), the incident occurred on Wednesday, January 7, in downtown Minneapolis. Videos of the fatal shooting show a law enforcement agent approaching a Honda Pilot, instructing the driver, Good, to get out of the vehicle while grabbing the SUV's handle.

Moments later, the Honda Pilot starts to move forward. A second ICE agent, standing in front of the vehicle, grabbed his gun and fired at least two shots toward the driver. The SUV is then shown speeding toward other parked vehicles and eventually stops.

Good was shot in the head and succumbed to her injuries at a local hospital. Multiple videos showing various angles have surfaced online, with many debating online whether the ICE agent standing in front of Good's vehicle was struck or not.

The ICE agent has since been identified as enforcement and removal operations officer Jonathan Ross. As per The Minnesota Star Tribune, Ross was involved in a similar incident back in June 2025, where he was dragged and injured while arresting Mexican citizen Roberto Carlos Munos-Guatemala.

Following Good's death, many protesters took to the streets of Minneapolis, demonstrating outrage against ICE. Schools canceled classes as a precaution, and local police reportedly released smoke to break up crowds, some of which gathered outside a local immigration court.

The AP reported that local agencies have been locked out of the investigation, which now solely lies in the hands of the FBI. This was met with concern by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry, who told the AP that the investigation should be "done for justice, not for the sake of a cover-up."

Good is survived by her wife and her three children, two of them living with extended family. According to the Star Tribune, she was an award-winning poet and writer who had recently moved to Minnesota.
