Renee Nicole Good was a 37-year-old American poet, writer, singer, and mother of three from Colorado Springs, Colorado, who was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 7, 2026, during a Department of Homeland Security operation targeting alleged fraud.[1][2][3] Born in Colorado, Good—previously known as Renee Macklin—earned a degree in English from Old Dominion University's College of Arts and Letters in December 2020. That year, she won the university's undergraduate poetry prize from the Academy of American Poets for her poem "On Learning to Dissect Fetal Pigs," and her bio highlighted her passions for writing, reading, movie marathons, and creating "messy art" with her children.[1][2] She hosted a podcast with her second husband, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., who died in 2023 at age 36, and described herself on Instagram as a "poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer," featuring an LGBTQ+ Pride flag.[2] Good had worked as a dental assistant and at a credit union but had primarily been a stay-at-home mother in recent years. A devoted Christian, she participated in youth mission trips to Northern Ireland and sang in a high school choir, later studying vocal performance before focusing on creative writing.[1][2] She had two children (ages 15 and 12) from her first marriage and a 6-year-old from her second; her first ex-husband described her as compassionate but not an activist.[1][2] At the time of her death, she lived in Minneapolis with her wife, having moved there the previous year after living in Kansas City, Missouri.[2] The shooting, near the site of George Floyd's 2020 murder, drew widespread attention, with Old Dominion University President Brian Hemphill calling it a tragic example of violence in the nation and honoring her life as a reminder of "freedom, love, and peace."[1] Good was a U.S. citizen returning from dropping her youngest child at school when the incident occurred.[2]
