Father of Renee Good’s Late Husband Breaks Silence After Viewing New Shooting Footage

The fatal shooting of Renee Good has sparked widespread debate, with few who have seen the disturbing video remaining neutral. The tragedy has raised difficult questions about law enforcement, accountability, and the use of force in high-pressure situations.

Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother, was shot during an encounter with ICE agents in Minneapolis. Authorities stated that she obstructed officers with her vehicle and attempted to flee. Footage shows ICE officer Jonathan Ross standing in front of her car as she drove forward. Ross fired three shots into the vehicle, fatally wounding Good.

The incident quickly became a national flashpoint, dividing public opinion across legal, moral, and emotional lines.

While some argue the officer acted in self-defense, others maintain that Good was unjustly killed and that criminal charges should follow. The case remains under investigation, and no final legal determinations have been made.

Even within Good’s own family, perspectives differ.

In an interview with CNN, Timmy Macklin—the father of Good’s late husband—said he does not blame ICE for her death. After viewing a new angle of the footage, Macklin described the situation as “hard for everybody involved.”

“I’m not blaming anybody,” he said. “At first, I didn’t see the footage where he was actually being rammed. I’ve seen the bumper of the car hitting his legs. In a flash like that, it’s hard to say how you would react.”

Macklin explained that seeing the additional footage changed his understanding of the moment.

“When something happens that fast, you don’t have time to think,” he said, emphasizing how quickly the situation escalated.

He also expressed disagreement with Good’s actions on the day of the incident.

“I think there were some bad choices,” Macklin said. “If we’re walking in the spirit of God, I don’t think she would have been there. That’s the way I look at it.”

Addressing the officer’s remarks after the shooting, Macklin added:

“The things he called her afterward… that shows he doesn’t know the Lord like he should.”

His comments reflect the painful complexity of this case—one that has left families, officials, and the public deeply divided.

As investigations continue, the officer’s actions have not yet been judged in court. The case remains open, and all parties involved are entitled to due process.

What is clear is that Renee Good’s death has become more than a single incident. It is now part of a broader national conversation about authority, fear, and the irreversible consequences of split-second decisions.

Until the legal process reaches a conclusion, the story remains unfinished—marked by grief, disagreement, and unanswered questions that continue to resonate far beyond Minneapolis.
