Renee Nicole Good’s wife, kids to get .5 million thanks to massive GoFundMe donation campaign

https://nypost.com/2026/01/09/us-news/gofundme-for-renee-nicole-good-closes-after-surpassing-1-5m-in-donations-following-fatal-ice-shooting/

A GoFundMe for Renee Nicole Good’s family closed Friday after surpassing $1.5 million in the wake of a heated confrontation in Minnesota that led to an ICE agent fatally shooting the activist mom.

The fundraiser — which received $1,503,533 from about 38,000 donations — was set up Wednesday to support Good’s widowed wife and three children after the 37-year-old was shot dead when she drove her SUV at an immigration officer who fired the fatal shot during a raucous protest in Minneapolis.

“First, I wanted to extend my gratitude to all the people who have reached out from across the county and around the world to support our family,” her wife, Rebecca, said in a statement on the GoFundMe.

There are still plenty of good people out there.


I wonder if the wife gets custody of the kids.

was set at only $50,000, whereas the GFM for Ross' legal bills requested $300,000, SIX times more for the murderer. More SHAME!

UPDATE: After checking in to Ross' GFM page, I see his "ask" has now blossomed up to $800,000 and his current haul is at $590,540. Murder is profitable these days.

I looked this up earlier today and I recall at the time it was $550,000, of which around $520k or so had been raised.

And yeah, in the current climate, killing a mother of three, who did nothing to deserve this, is profitable.
