Duran Duran pays tribute to Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother who was fatally shot by an ICE agent during a routine operation in Minnesota. The band dedicated their 1993 hit "Ordinary World" to her at a recent concert in Sacramento, California.
The somber moment was captured on video by a fan and shared on social media platforms. During the dedication, Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon addressed the audience, saying, "We believe that people in this world have a right to live their lives in peace and freedom in their own country... For all the ordinary people in this world, we wish upon you an ordinary world."
Renee Good was shot by ICE officer Jonathan Ross on Wednesday during an operation. Footage from the scene shows that seconds before the shooting, Good attempted to drive away from the confrontation. However, DHS officials claimed that she had been trying to "run over" the officer with her vehicle.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and protests in Minneapolis, where Good lived. Mayor Jacob Frey called for federal agents to leave the city after the shooting, stating that it was an example of reckless power being used by ICE agents.
Duran Duran's dedication of "Ordinary World" to Renee Good serves as a poignant reminder of the impact of such incidents on families and communities. The song, released in 1993, is often associated with its themes of longing and human connection – sentiments that resonate deeply in this tragic case.

like, what's going on?! A mom gets shot by an ICE agent because she tried to drive away? That's just horrific, you know? 
And now Duran Duran is dedicating one of their biggest songs to her? It's like, they're saying that even in the darkest moments, there's still hope for a "ordinary world" 
. But let's be real, Renee Good was just trying to live her life and protect herself, and ICE agents took that away from her 
. We need to hold our leaders accountable for this kind of behavior, you know? It's not just about the mom who got shot, it's about the countless others who are living in fear because of these kinds of incidents. 
We need change, like now

anyway duran duran doin the right thing by tributin to her tho, at least someone cares about her fam 
duran duran's dedication to renee good is like, totally touching 
but what's even more messed up is the whole story behind it... an ice agent just shoots a momma trying to drive away from him and now she's gone 
it's like, basic human decency, right? shouldn't that be enough? anyways, duran duran's message of wanting ordinary people to live in peace and freedom is so on point 
we need more of that kind of vibe in our society. it's crazy how something like this can spark outrage and protests... what's gonna change though? sadly, not much, imo
. It's so not fair to families and loved ones, they should never have to go through that kind of pain & trauma... we need to do more to hold ppl in power accountable for their actions 
. it's moments like these that remind us the importance of human rights and freedom, we should all be fighting for that 
️.
I'm literally freaking out rn!!! Duran Duran is my ultimate fave band and to see them paying tribute to Renee Good like that? it's just... *sigh* 
They're so brave for speaking up about this and I love how Simon Le Bon addressed the crowd, it was so powerful 
. I mean, can you even imagine being a mom trying to drive away from some ICE agent who just starts shooting at you?! 
. I'm definitely going to share this video all over social media, we need more people to see this and be outraged too!
