Law Firm Tapped to Probe Minneapolis Shooting that Killed Renee Nicole Macklin Good, Family Seeks Answers
A prominent law firm has been hired by the family of Renee Nicole Macklin Good, just days after she was fatally shot by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis. Romanucci & Blandin is leading the investigation into the January 7 shooting, which has sparked widespread protests and debate over the actions of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer.
The family's lawyer, Antonio Romanucci, has expressed the community's desire for answers about Macklin Good's killing. "People in Minneapolis and across this country truly, truly care about what happened to Renee Good on January 7, 2026... They want to know what could and should have been done to let Renee live and pick her child up safely from school that afternoon."
The investigation has raised questions about the Trump administration's account of the interaction. Videos of the shooting appear to contradict the official narrative, with Macklin Good appearing to drive away after a brief exchange with the ICE officer before being shot three times.
Despite the FBI's investigation into the incident, several federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned amid concerns over the Justice Department's handling of the case. The department has stated there is "no basis for a criminal civil rights investigation," but the family's lawyer remains committed to transparency and accountability.
Macklin Good, a mother of three, was parked across the road when she was approached by an ICE officer. After a brief exchange, Good began driving away, but the officer continued to be near the vehicle before firing three shots, killing her. Her parents and four siblings have hired Romanucci & Blandin to represent them in their pursuit of justice.
The family has received "unending care" and support, with Macklin Good's parents saying she was a "beautiful light" who brought joy to everyone around her. The law firm, known for handling high-profile cases, including representing the 15-year-old boy arrested during a protest on the Far Southeast Side last year, is committed to uncovering the truth behind Macklin Good's killing.

. The whole thing with the ICE officer and the videos not matching the official story raises so many questions... like, what exactly did happen on January 7th? 
The family's lawyer is right, we need answers and transparency here. It's heartbreaking to think about Macklin Good's three little kids without their mom, and her parents' pain is truly relatable 
. Can't we just have a simple, honest investigation here? 
man... this whole thing with Renee Nicole Macklin Good just feels so wrong 
. I mean, she was just trying to do her job and pick up her kid from school, right? 
but then some ICE officer comes outta nowhere and starts shooting at her 
. Like, what's the point of even having a system if people aren't gonna follow the rules or protect each other? 
. And with all these videos coming out that show the officer's story not adding up? 
it's like, come on guys, get your act together! 
.
. I mean, it's been days since she was killed and the community is still buzzing about it 
. The family wants answers and justice, and I think they have every right to want that 
.
I mean, those videos of Renee driving away and then getting shot three times are pretty suspicious. What if she was trying to get her kid from school and that ICE officer just wanted an excuse to shoot someone up? 
. I mean, Renee Nicole Macklin Good was just a mom trying to pick up her kid from school and get home safely... and instead she gets shot by an ICE officer. It's just not right. The family is getting the support they deserve, but it's clear that there are still so many questions about what really happened on that day.
. And now several federal prosecutors in Minnesota have resigned because of concerns over the Justice Department's handling of the case? That's just unacceptable.
.
... the family deserves answers and justice, but what if nothing comes of this investigation? The Trump admin's account is already looking shaky 
... fingers crossed that the law firm can dig up some truth 
. I mean, she was just trying to pick up her kid from school and drive away after a brief exchange with the ICE officer 
. But they shot her three times and now her family's left with all these questions... 
. I hope Romanucci & Blandin can uncover the truth and bring some justice to Renee's family

and it's not surprising that there are questions about their version of events. The FBI investigation might be a good start, but we need more 
they deserve answers and justice. it's crazy how much scrutiny is already being put on an ICE officer in a high-profile case 
. The family's lawyer is saying all the right things, but I think it's just a PR stunt to get attention away from the real issues at hand. And don't even get me started on those videos of Macklin Good driving away... what if she was trying to get out of there? What if the officer was trying to intimidate her?
.
... we need some real answers, not just empty statements from politicians 
.
. this case is a big deal and it's only going to get bigger if we don't see some real progress soon
