Renee Good's family hires same law firm used by George Floyd's family to investigate ICE shooting

Source: AP

(AP) - Renee Good ’s family is accusing federal immigration officers of killing the Minneapolis mother as she attempted to follow agents’ instructions, and said Wednesday they have hired the same law firm that represented George Floyd ’s family to press for answers and accountability.

Her loved ones said in a statement they want Good, 37, remembered as “an agent of peace” and urged the public not to use her death as a political flashpoint, according to the Chicago-based firm Romanucci & Blandin. The firm said it will release information from its investigation in the coming weeks.

The family’s decision to hire the law firm came the same week the Justice Department said it sees no basis to open a federal civil rights investigation into the shooting. An FBI probe of Renee Good’s death is ongoing.

The family of Renee Nicole Macklin Good has retained attorneys to conduct a civil investigation into her fatal shooting by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during a federal operation in Minneapolis, the legal firm Romanucci & Blandin said Wednesday.

Romanucci & Blandin and attorney Antonio Romanucci—a legal firm and lawyer known for representing George Floyd’s family in the civil case that ended in a landmark settlement—signaling.

In a statement from Romanucci & Blandin, the family called for calm in Minneapolis and urged the public not to turn Good’s death into a political fight. The lawyers said that the family wants Good to be remembered with a simple message: “Be Good.” They also stated that they will disclose information from their investigation as it is developed , describing transparency as essential.

Attorney Antonio M. Romanucci, the firm’s founding partner, said the team represents Good’s partner, Becca Good, along with her parents, Tim and Donna Ganger, and her siblings. The attorneys said Minneapolis lawyer Kevin Riach is serving as co-counsel.

The legal team’s account describes what it said occurred on Jan. 7, 2026, along Portland Avenue between East 33rd and 34th streets. The attorneys said Good, 37, and her partner were driving home after dropping off their 6-year-old child at school when they saw federal agents in their neighborhood and stopped to observe. The attorneys said videos show Good gesturing for other vehicles to pass, as agents moved toward her car.

The award should come out of DHS's budget--provided they still have one by then.

7. Sue the ICE bastard for wrongful death

Wrongful death is a civil matter that requires only a MAJORITY of the jury, not a unanimous jury vote.

Sue him for everything he has and ever will have -- house, car(s), guns, boat, and best of all -- HIS PENSION.
