Old Dominion University mourns Renee Nicole Good after Minneapolis ICE shooting

“It is with great sadness that Old Dominion University mourns the loss of one of our own, Renee (Macklin) Good, a proud Monarch who graduated in December of 2020 from the College of Arts and Letters with a degree in English,” Brian O. Hemphill wrote in a statement released on the university's official website.

Hemphill went on to share his thoughts and prayers for Good's “family, friends, loved ones, and the Monarch Nation.” “This is yet another clear example that fear and violence have sadly become commonplace in our nation. Indeed, this tragedy reflects the deep strain being felt in countless communities across our nation.”

Good was a US citizen and reportedly had a six-year-old son, per CNN. Her identity was confirmed by her mother, Donna Ganger, shortly after the incident. “As citizens, it is our duty and right to call upon leaders and officials to restore civility in all facets of our lives, especially at the hands of those who are entrusted to protect and serve,” Hempill continued.

“May Renee’s life be a reminder of what unites us: freedom, love, and peace. My hope is for compassion, healing, and reflection at a time that is becoming one of the darkest and most uncertain periods in our nation’s history,” the university's president concluded.
