MINNEAPOLIS — The woman shot and killed by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis Wednesday has been identified as 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
The Minneapolis City Council released a statement saying Good was "out caring for her neighbors" when she was killed.
Family later confirmed Good's identity.
“This morning an Ice agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a member of our community. Renee was a resident of our city who was out caring for her neighbors this morning and her life was taken today at the hands of the federal government. Anyone who kills someone in our city deserves to be arrested, investigated, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
"We are united in our support for our immigrant community and our residents in the wake of these attacks. We demand that ICE immediately leave our city so we can get rid of their chaos and violence that ended the life of one of our neighbors today.
"The City Council stands committed to working with our state partners in doing everything we can to protect our neighbors in this moment.
"Now is the time to reach out and support your immigrant neighbors. Minneapolis is resilient and will not back down as the federal government ramps up their attacks on our community.”
The joint statement was signed by Council President Elliott Payne (Ward 1), Vice President Jamal Osman (Ward 6), Council Members Robin Wonsley (Ward 2), Pearll Warren (Ward 5), Elizabeth Shaffer (Ward 7), Soren Stevenson (Ward 8), Jason Chavez (Ward 9), Aisha Chughtai (Ward 10), Jamison Whiting (Ward 11), Aurin Chowdhury (Ward 12), and Linea Palmisano (Ward 13).

She leaves behind three children.
