The widow of Renee Nicole Good, who was filmed sobbing “it’s my fault” after her partner was killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, is a handywoman who recently moved the family to the city, The Post can reveal.
Rebecca Good, 40, was outside the car when Renee drove towards an ICE officer, who opened fire on Wednesday — shooting the mom of three in the head and killing her.
Rebecca Good and her wife previously lived in Kansas City, Missouri, where they lived in the Waldo neighborhood for about two years.
But they decided to leave the country after President Trump was re-elected in 2024, and moved to Canada for several months before settling in Minneapolis, a former Missouri neighbor told KMBC.
“A neighbor who, you know, is not a terrorist. Not an extremist. That was just a mom who loved her kids, loved her spouse,” another neighbor, Joan Rose, told the outlet.
The Goods were raising Renee’s 6-year-old son together.
The Department of Homeland Security accused 37-year-old Renee of being a “domestic terrorist” who “weaponized” her car to try to kill ICE officers.
Footage from the incident captured her SUV idling across a residential street where ICE agents were conducting an immigration operation, when an officer approached her door and ordered her out.
She then reversed briefly, then began to drive while turning to her right – prompting an agent who had moved in front of the car to jump out of the way and fire three shots into the windshield and then the window as it passed, killing her.
All the while, Rebecca had been outside of the car and apparently confronting the ICE agents. She didn’t seem to realize her wife had been hurt until their SUV accelerated away and slammed into a car down the block.
Rebecca was then seen distraught and apparently crying that she’d been the one who asked her wife to go out and protest the ICE operations.
“I made her come down here; it’s my fault,” Rebecca said, her face covered in blood after having attempted to help Renee. “They just shot my wife.”
“They shot her in the head. I have a 6-year-old in school,” Rebecca said.
The couple was allegedly a part of a group that had been “stalking and impeding” ICE officers throughout the day, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said.
But Renee’s mother insisted that didn’t sound like her daughter at all, telling the Star Tribune she was never “part of anything like that at all.”
“Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” said the mother, Donna Ganger. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving, and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.”
Renee described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom,” originally from Colorado, on her social media.
She was previously married to a comedian who died in 2023, and the couple had a son, a 6-year-old, together.
That child has now been left an orphan after Renee’s death on Wednesday.
“There’s nobody else in his life,” the boy’s grandfather, Timmy Ray Mackline Sr., told the Tribune.
“I’ll drive. I’ll fly. To come and get my grandchild.”
