Renee Nicole Good, 37, a graduate of Old Dominion University, was shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis
Old Dominion University has issued a heartfelt statement following the shocking death of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old English graduate who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Good, a proud Monarch, had earned her degree from the College of Arts and Letters in December 2020.
The university's president, Brian O. Hemphill, expressed his deepest condolences to Good's family, friends, and loved ones, as well as the entire Monarch Nation. He noted that this tragic incident highlights the growing sense of fear and violence in the nation, affecting countless communities.
Good, a US citizen, left behind a six-year-old son. Her identity was confirmed by her mother, Donna Ganger, shortly after the incident. In his statement, Hemphill urged leaders and officials to restore civility and promote a culture of compassion, healing, and reflection.
As the nation grapples with this dark period, Hemphill's words serve as a poignant reminder of the values that unite us: freedom, love, and peace. The university's president hopes that Good's life will inspire a renewed commitment to these principles and a call to action for leaders to protect and serve their citizens with dignity and respect.
