Six-year-old boy. Two parents. Both gone before his seventh birthday. That is the heartbreaking reality facing the son of Renee Nicole Good, the 37-year-old Minneapolis woman fatally shot by an ICE agent on 7 January 2026 during what federal officials called routine immigration enforcement.

Good’s young son lost his father, Timmy Ray Macklin Jr., in 2023. Now, just two years later, he has lost his mother too. The tragedy has ignited nationwide protests, sparked a political firestorm between state and federal officials, and united thousands of strangers who have donated over $450,000 (approximately £360,000) to support the boy and Good’s wife.

      I sincerely hope this raises more money than the white woman on a racist tirade against a black child.

      I just want something to show me there’s more good than there is evil in the world.

          You are the reason the world is shit. A percentage of it is because of people like you who stick their head in the sand or encourage others to do so.

            No offense but the world is shit because we chose capitalism as an economic system that encourages a single parasite to have more influence than any government. Literally give me any modern day problem and it’s pathetic how capitalism is the only reason we cant solve it.

              That’s part of it, but another part is people ignoring the issues and convincing others to do also give up.

              You’ve given up so you’re now part of the problem. They’ve pulled you to their side by convincing you it’s hopeless to fight them.

              Next you’ll argue and deny all this and possible claim I’m the problem.

    I read somewhere that she was a mother of three? Or did this son have a different dad? Just trying to make sense of the information floating about.

        So she does have 3 kids 15, 12 and 6. First marriage had the first two and the second marriage had the final one. Second husband died and they are looking to raise money for the son and common law(?) Spouse.

        So maybe the first two children are with the first father still?

          Be my guess. When I heard that she had three children, but the father of the second husband said he was going to find any way he could to come get the six year old grandson, I wondered why just him, but that makes sense if they are in different households and custodies.

          In the end it doesn’t really matter whether they were happy or there was drama; she got murdered by someone playing cop, who should get locked up, period. She looked to be an average person trying to live their life, and didn’t need this shit.

            Oh I’m not judging or caring about previous relationships or drama. I was just after the facts after all the grifts floating around “go fund me for wife and son” raised a couple red flags when I thought she was the mother of 3. Turns out she was in a different type of relationship hence “wife” and the youngest was from a different marriage. That all sort of falls in line with go fund me. So sure I’ll donate some to help out.
