Renee Good's Loved Ones Call Out 'Nasty' Claims About Slain Mother Of 3

Renee Good’s loved ones are speaking out to deny a bogus claim that the mother of three, who was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in Minneapolis last week, had an extensive criminal record.

Morgan Fletcher, Good’s one-time sister-in-law, wrote in a since-deleted Facebook post that she never thought the death of a loved one would be “so high profile” or a “massively divisive, political topic.”

“We are grieving. Heavily. And yes, we see everyone’s posts and comments. Some in support but also, the nasty ones ripping apart our beautiful and beloved Renee,” Fletcher wrote. “And we’ve seen the false claims and the wrong Renee Good’s info being posted (criminal history? She didn’t have one).”

Since Trump and officials in his administration began to bash Good by claiming that she was a “domestic terrorist,” iterations of her so-called “rap sheet” have circulated on social media and appear to tie her to several arrests between 2022 and 2024.

In reality, the extent of Good’s criminal record only goes as far as two traffic tickets, one in 2019 and one in 2012, PolitiFact found. At least one of the faux screenshots showed the late 37-year-old mother’s age as “44.”

Fletcher reminded her followers that Good was “our family” and her 6-year-old son, whom she reportedly dropped off at school before encountering federal agents, was “now an orphan.”

Fletcher also had a message for everyone, regardless of their views on ICE and whether or not they thought Good “did or didn’t deserve what happened” to her.

“Please remember she was a human being and she had loved ones… including children who can and will likely see all of these things about their mother… and her wife, whom she loved dearly,” Fletcher wrote. “Please remember to BE KIND. And if you claim to be a Christian, especially, please check your heart, attitude, and response to the tragic death. For they will know you by your fruits.”

In separate comments, Jessica Fletcher, also Good’s one-time sister-in-law, told The Guardian that there has been “so much hateful rhetoric” surrounding the deadly shooting. She noted that people were missing “a picture of who Renee was.”

Fletcher drafted a statement to The Guardian that was mostly comprised of relatives connected to Good’s late husband Timmy Macklin Jr., a U.S. Air Force veteran who died in 2023 at age 36.

The relatives said they wanted to “avoid the divisiveness and harsh language” that had orbited discussions around the deadly shooting.
