A new map shows that the ICE shootings of Renee Good in Minneapolis, and the 51-year-old man shot dead earlier today, were just over one mile apart from each other
A man shot dead by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis earlier today was just over a mile away from the tragic scene of Renee Good’s death earlier this month.
A chilling map showing the proximity of the shootings has deepened public anger and fueled comparisons to the killing of Renée Good earlier this year.
The shooting occurred roughly a mile from where 37-year-old Good was killed on January 7, when an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer fired into her vehicle. Together, the two incidents form a stark and unsettling pattern on the city map, with both deaths unfolding amid heightened ICE presence under the Trump administration.

Details surrounding Saturday’s shooting were not immediately clear, but Minnesota Governor Tim Walz said the man was shot amid the administration’s immigration crackdown. A hospital record obtained by The Associated Press said a 51-year-old man who had been shot by immigration officers had lost his life.
Clips of the incident quickly circulated online, with a group of ICE agents seen tackling the man and wrestling to the ground before he is shot. Moments later, as his body lay motionless, he is shot again.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin commented to the AP that the man had a firearm with two magazines and that the situation was “evolving.” DHS also distributed a photo of a handgun they said was found on the man who was shot.
Saturday’s killing came as Minneapolis saw daily protests following Good’s death. Good was killed when an ICE officer fired into her vehicle, an incident that prompted widespread demonstrations and condemnation from local residents and civil rights advocates.
After Saturday’s shooting, hundreds of protesters poured into the streets near the scene, surrounding federal officers and shouting profanities. One officer responded mockingly as he walked away, telling protesters: “Boo hoo.”
Agents elsewhere shoved a yelling protester into a car and some protesters dragged garbage dumpsters from alleyways to block streets and chanted, “ICE out now,” referring to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Federal officers wielded batons and deployed flash bangs to disperse the crowd. One Minneapolis resident, Josh Koskie, commented: “They’re killing my neighbours.”
The shooting happened a day after thousands of demonstrators had crowded Minneapolis streets in cold weather to protest the federal immigration crackdown and call for law enforcement to leave the city.
Walz, a Democrat, said in a social media post that he had been in contact with the White House and urged President Donald Trump to halt what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest-ever immigration enforcement operation. Writing on X, formerly Twitter, he said: “Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.”
The close proximity of the two fatal shootings, one involving a woman killed in her car, the other a man shot during an immigration enforcement encounter, has intensified scrutiny of federal agents’ use of force in Minneapolis and raised questions about tactics being used during operations in residential neighborhoods.
