A man who Renee Nicole Good once called her father-in-law has made a shocking statement to the media in the wake of the mother-of-three’s death by ICE agent in Minneapolis.

37-year-old Good was killed last Wednesday in a vehicle-related shooting incident during the ongoing Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids throughout the Twin Cities, which saw agent Jonathan Ross fire multiple shots into her car.

The fatal shooting took place just a few hours after she had dropped off her six-year-old son at school, when she attempted to drive away from a group of ICE officers who were facing off with protesters, which included her wife.

The father of her deceased husband, Timmy Macklin, quoted Bible verses and admitted to being a Trump supporter before equivocating on his daughter-in-law’s death. He said the shooting was ‘hard for everybody involved’.

Macklin told CNN’s Erin Burnett OutFront that ‘I’m not blaming anybody’, and echoed claims from ICE and the Trump administration that Good was using her car to attack federal agents. Although it’s important to note that has not been supported by video evidence of the incident.

He said: “I mean, the ICE agent, you know, at first I didn‘t see the footage where… he was actually being rammed. I mean, I‘ve seen the bumper of the car hitting his legs. And so in a flash like that, it‘s hard to say how you would react.”

Separately, President Trump has labeled Good as a ‘domestic terrorist’, while DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has said that the mom and poet used her car in an ‘attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents.’

Speaking to the media this week, Macklin, whose son had been married to Good for five years before passing away in 2023 and is the father to her six year old son Emerson, called Good a ‘great person’ but also raised his disapproval of her actions.

The preacher added: “I think there’s some bad choices… if we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s the way I look at it.”

He said of his former daughter-in-law, who married her wife Rebecca following his son’s death: “Do I agree with everything that she did? Absolutely not.”

When pressed on a video in which Good was called a ‘f***ing b**h’ just moments after multiple shots were fired, Macklin suggested Ross ‘don’t know the lord like he should’.

It is unclear who made the remark, but Macklin appeared to assume it was Ross as he told CNN: “His statement that he made after the incident, the things he called her, I mean, that‘s definitely showing evidence that he that he don‘t know the Lord like he should.”

Later, the host showed him an excerpt of an interview the network had with President Trump, where he showed a different tone than when he called Good a ‘domestic terrorist’.

He said: “I would bet you that she, under normal circumstances, was a very solid, wonderful person. But her actions were pretty tough. I’ve seen it many ways and many different shapes and forms.”

After seeing this from Trump, Macklin added: “Renee was an amazing person, she was full of life, full of joy, a real gentle, good mother. I just think we make bad choices and that’s the problem.”
