A GoFundMe campaign to support the family of Renee Nicole Good, the Minneapolis woman killed in a Jan. 7 shooting by an ICE agent, has closed after raising more than $1.5 million.
The campaign was started hours after Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, was shot while in her Honda Pilot SUV at an immigration enforcement operation on a residential street near her Minneapolis home.
After the campaign collected $1,503,533 from more than 38,500 donations, the organizers posted a note thanking contributors for their generosity. “We’ve closed this GoFundMe and will place the funds in a trust for the family,” the note said. “If you’re looking to donate, we encourage you to support others in need. We’re truly grateful.”
The GoFundMe page has also been updated with a statement Good’s wife, Rebecca Good, had given to Minnesota Public Radio in which she said the two found themselves at the operation because they “stopped to support our neighbors” before Renee Good was fatally shot. “We had whistles. They had guns,” Rebecca Good said.

Nationwide protests planned after shooting death of Renee Good
In the aftermath of the shooting death of Good, more than 1,000 anti-ICE protests are scheduled nationwide for Saturday, Jan. 10, and Sunday, Jan. 11.
At the same time, additional video showing the ICE agent’s perspective of the incident, didn’t seem to calm tensions about the shooting’s cause.
Vice President JD Vance said the video showed the officer had acted in self defense, while critics including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer thought the new video demonstrated that Good’s shooting was unwarranted.
Also on Friday, Jan. 9, court records led to the identification of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent involved in the shooting as Jonathan Ross, a U.S. Army veteran and former Border Patrol agent.
‘Kindness radiated’ from Renee Good, her wife says
In the statement, Rebecca Good also thanked contributors to the fund.
“First, I want to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the country and around the world to support our family,” Good said. “This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.”
Renee Good was a mother of three: a 15-year-old daughter and two sons, ages 12 and 6, according to The Washington Post. She lived just a few blocks from where she was fatally shot, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
“Renee leaves behind three extraordinary children; the youngest is just six years old and already lost his father,” Rebecca Good’s statement continued. “I am now left to raise our son and to continue teaching him, as Renee believed, that there are people building a better world for him. That the people who did this had fear and anger in their hearts, and we need to show them a better way.”
More than two dozen other GoFundMe campaigns list Renee Good’s name; the fundraising site’s Trust and Safety team is reviewing all fundraisers related to the shooting in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
