EL PASO, Texas (KTSM<\/a>) \u2014 Residents will gather in the heart of Downtown El Paso to remember and honor Renee Nicole Good, the woman who was shot and killed by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n

The vigil for Good, hosted by a local grassroots organization EPTX United, will start at 6 p.m. at San Jacinto Plaza.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what EPTX United said about the vigil for Good:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn January 7, 2025, a loved and respected member of the Minneapolis community had her life brutally taken at the hands of federal law enforcement. This is not the first time, and unfortunately, as we get the news of what just happened in Portland, it will not be the last time that this happens. When will it end.<\/p>\n

From the streets, to the detention centers, to the deserts, we have lost so many beautiful people in this very trying time.<\/p>\n

Please join us tomorrow to remember the life of Renee Nicole Good. May her name echo through the streets of downtown. She will not be forgotten.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is one of hundreds of vigils and protests happening across the nation, sparking outrage following I.C.E.-involved shootings in Minneapolis and in Portland.<\/p>\n

Good, 37, was a mother of three who had recently moved to Minneapolis, according to the Associated Press. In her social media accounts, Good described herself as a \u201cpoet, writer, wife, and mom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her ex-husband, who was not named, said Good had just dropped off her youngest child at school on the day of the shooting and was driving home with her partner when they encountered a group of ICE agents, AP reported.<\/p>\n

Video taken of bystanders showed Good in her vehicle when ICE officers began to approach her. In the video, ICE agents begin to tell good to \u201cget out of the vehicle\u201d and grab the handle.<\/p>\n

An ICE officer, now identified as Jonathan Ross, shot and killed Good. Her vehicle is then seen driving down the road until it crashes into another vehicle. The FBI is investigating whether the shooting was justified or not.<\/p>\n

Good tells the recording officer, \u201cIt\u2019s fine, dude. I\u2019m not mad at you. Show your face, I\u2019m not mad at you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another person is seen recording the incident, telling the officer as they\u2019re recording Good\u2019s license plate, \u201cIt\u2019s ok, we don\u2019t change our plates every morning, just so you know. It\u2019ll be the same plate when you come talk to us later. That\u2019s fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the person tells the recording officer, \u201cGo get yourself some lunch, big boy,\u201d you can hear another ICE officer tell Good to \u201cget out of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

The recording officer is seen walking back to the front of Good\u2019s vehicle, where she appears to back up and drive forward. The recording officer flips the camera up and gunshots can be heard. At the end of the video, you can see Good\u2019s car driving down the road and hear a crash.<\/p>\n

According to the AP, Ross is an Iraq War veteran and joined the U.S. Border Patrol in 2007 near El Paso. He worked there until 2015 and joined ICE, serving as a deportation officer based in Minnesota.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a law enforcement, a federal law enforcement agency that is has been given free rein by the president, the vice president and the secretary of Homeland Security. It appears that the administration doesn\u2019t care that whether or not their agents operate within the law,\u201d U.S. Congresswoman Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, said during a media briefing Friday morning.<\/p>\n

U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, took to X on Wednesday defending Ross, stating that \u201cICE agents have a job that\u2019s beyond tough.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom facing violence on the ground to threats toward themselves and their families\u2014our ICE agents have a job that\u2019s beyond tough. Our prayers are with our ICE agents and immigration law enforcement today and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
