HuffPost
"Here, I had finally found peace and safe harbor," Renee Good's wife wrote. "That has been taken from me forever."
The wife of Renee Good, the woman shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis, spoke out Friday for the first time since the incident, saying her partner had been “made of sunshine.”
“This kindness of strangers is the most fitting tribute,” Becca Good wrote in a statement published by Minneapolis Public Radio, referring to the public support she has received since her wife’s death, “because if you ever encountered my wife, Renee Nicole Macklin Good, you know that above all else, she was kind. In fact, kindness radiated out of her.”
Renee Good, 37, was shot and killed by an ICE officer on Wednesday morning while in her car. Videos taken by bystanders show Good attempting to turn her car on a street where several ICE officers were present. Three of them surrounded her car as she reversed her SUV and pulled forward. As she attempted to pull away, an immigration officer fired three shots through her windshield and her open driver’s side window.
Becca Good was on foot, outside of the vehicle, when the shots were fired.
“Renee sparkled. She literally sparkled,” Becca Good wrote. “I mean, she didn’t wear glitter but I swear she had sparkles coming out of her pores. All the time. You might think it was just my love talking but her family said the same thing. Renee was made of sunshine.”
