Renee Good's family honors her 38th birthday, saying she "blessed our lives with love, beauty and light"
Family members are remembering and honoring Renee Good on what would have been her 38th birthday.
Good was shot and killed in south Minneapolis on Jan. 7 by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathon Ross in the early days of Operation Metro Surge. The self-described poet and writer had recently moved to Minneapolis with her wife and three children.
In a statement, her parents Tim and Donna Ganger said she "blessed [their] lives with love, beauty and light."
They said she was "full of promise and taken from us much too soon."
"We are grateful for the 37 years we had her and her warmth. Today and everyday we remember what we have lost but remain so thankful for what she gave to all of us. We love and miss you so much, Nae," the statement goes on to say.
Good, who was a U.S. citizen, was a legal observer of federal actions in the city and was not a target for arrest by ICE agents, city leaders said.
Minnesota state and county officials have sued the federal government, alleging they are being blocked from investigating her shooting, as well as the shootings of Alex Pretti and Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis by federal agents.
