The shooting of Renée Good happened in Minneapolis.
By Catholics for Catholics
The family of a woman who was allegedly shot and killed by immigration officers during a federal crackdown in Minneapolis, filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
Two lawsuits alleging conspiracy, wrongful death and other violations were filed on behalf of Renee Good’s partner, Becca Good, and Renee’s brother, Brent Ganger. The victim was 37-years-old.
According to a story by Newsmax, the Justice Department didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the lawsuits.
On Jan. 7, Good, a mother of three, was fatally shot Jan. 7 as demonstrations against immigration raids erupted across the city. According to Becca Good, her partner stopped their car in a street to support neighbors during an immigration operation.
According to Newsmax, a bystander video shows Renee Good in the driver’s seat of a red SUV blocking part of the road and repeatedly honking her horn.

Two immigration officers with their faces covered responded by getting out of a truck. One of the agents ordered Good to get out of the car, instead she reversed, then turned the steering wheel as the officer said again, “get out of the car.”
One of the officers shot Good, according to an examination of the videos by the Associated Press and others. At the time, Federal officials said the officer acted in self-defense and that Good had engaged in “an act of domestic terrorism.”
The lawsuit against the United States of America seeks damages for Good’s wrongful death and “the immense suffering Renee endured in the final moments of her life and for the profound and permanent losses that her death has inflicted upon her family,” according to a news release filed by lawyers for Ganger and Good.
The lawsuit also alleges “intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress” on Becca Good.
